1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Heat cast iron skillet and add olive oil. Add shrimp and cook until tender and no longer translucent, reduce heat. Remove Shrimp and set aside. Add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes.

If you purchase frozen shrimp thaw shrimp completely before cooking. You can place them in a sieve and simply rinse cold water over them until they thaw. Drop the shrimp into a medium sized pot of boiling water. I personally like to add a little crab boil seasoning to the water to give the shrimp an additional layer of flavor. This is not necessary. Cook shrimp until they turn pink, and remove immediately, this will only take 2 to 4 minutes.Prepare cheese sauce by combining Monterey Jack cheese, Cheddar cheese, and cream cheese in a medium sized pot over a low to medium heat.

I found the Zatarains Blackened Seasoning at Wal*Mart
Cook noodles as directed on package. Meanwhile, combine diced chicken and Zatarains blackened seasoning in pot. The Zatarains blackened seasoning has some serious kick to it so start out with a little bit and increase it as you go. Heat chicken over low to medium heat until blackened seasoning coats heated chicken, about 4-5 minutes stirring frequently. Once chicken is heated through, add halved grape tomatoes and stir frequently until they soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add both jars of Alfredo sauce to chicken and tomatoes and continue to heat over low to medium heat. Serve sauce mixture over hot fettuccine noodles with Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

1/4 cup half-and-half or milk
4 garlic cloves -- roasted
Salt -- to taste
Freshly-ground white pepper -- to taste
To really get their flavor, these potatoes need to be baked, not boiled. So bake them in a 350 degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes. This would be a great time to roast that garlic too. You can either use a traditional roaster, or you may wrap a bulb of garlic in foil and roast that, be sure to coat the bulb with some olive oil before you roast it. Remove potatoes from oven and allow them to cool. You can leave the peelings on or off, I like to leave a few of them on. Chop potatoes, add butter, and half-and-half, and mix with with an electric mixture. Add cloves of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. You will want to heat these potatoes in a saucepan until they warm up
again.
2 cups pineapple juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

2 tablespoons sugar
In a bowl combine all ingredients except for chicken. Stir. Using a fork, poke about 5 to 8 sets of holes in each chicken breast. Put chicken in marinade, making sure it is covered in the mixture.

3 tablespoons sugar
3 cups corn flakes -- crush slightly
2 eggs -- well beaten
1/4 cup cold water
4 pounds chicken -- cut up
Combine first 9 ingredients in large bowl. Put the cornflakes into another bowl. Put eggs and water in a third bowl. Put enough corn oil into a heavy roomy skillet to fill it 1-inch deep. Get it HOT! Grease a 9- by 12- by 2-inch baking pan. Set it aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dip chicken pieces 1 piece at a time as follows: Into dry coating mix. Into egg and water mix. Into corn flakes. Briskly but briefly back into dry mix. Drop into hot oil, skin-side-down and brown 3 to 4 minutes on medium-high. Turn and brown other side of each piece. Don't crowd pieces during frying. Place in prepared pan in single layer, skin-side up. Seal with foil, on 3 sides only, leaving 1 side loose for steam to escape. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes removing foil then to test tenderness of chicken. Allow to bake uncovered 5 minutes longer to crisp the coating. Leftovers refrigerate well up to 4 days. Do not freeze these leftovers. Leftover coating mix (1st 9 ingredients) can be stored at room temperature in covered container up to 2 months. This recipe yields 4 servings.
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce
1 dash ground pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 chicken wing pieces
=== ON THE SIDE ===
Bleu cheese dressing
Celery sticks
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. You want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely -- an inch or so deep at least. Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well-blended. Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne powder, and salt in a small bowl. If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. Put the wings in a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator 60 to 90 minutes. This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried. Put all the wings in the hot oil and fry 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. Remove from the oil to a paper towel to drain. Don't let them sit too long, because you want to serve them hot. Quickly put the wings in a large bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir,
coating all of the wings evenly. Serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 chicken wing pieces
=== ON THE SIDE ===
Bleu cheese dressing
Celery sticks
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. You want just enough oil to cover the wings entirely -- an inch or so deep at least. Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well-blended. Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne powder, and salt in a small bowl. If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them. Put the wings in a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings in the refrigerator 60 to 90 minutes. This will help the breading to stick to the wings when fried. Put all the wings in the hot oil and fry 10 to 15 minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown. Remove from the oil to a paper towel to drain. Don't let them sit too long, because you want to serve them hot. Quickly put the wings in a large bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir,
coating all of the wings evenly. Serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
