Low Carb Carbalose Cherry Almond Bread Pudding

Low Carb Carbalose Cherry Almond Bread PuddingLow Carb Carbalose Cherry Almond Bread Pudding. Somewhere long ago and far away I was dabbling in the kitchen (better dabbling than babbling) and just kind of came up with this recipe.  Cherries and almonds are one of those food marriages made in heaven so I thought I would run a yes, high carby version of this as a special dessert item in the restaurant and it was a hit.  People would come back in to have a cup of coffee and bread pudding and I didn’t have it.  So…I decided to put it on the menu permanently and it stayed as a customer favorite.  Here it is in its low carb form and I absolutely cannot tell any difference and since you never had my restaurant version you definitely won’t know either.

Bread pudding, any bread pudding and that includes low carb carbalose cherry almond bread pudding begs for a sauce…any sauce…please, just give me a sauce and this is the way I served it in the restaurant.  So simple…so good…just warm & drizzled with a little heavy cream or better yet Sweetened Condensed Milk

I don’t care how you cut it traditional bread pudding has never been low carb but just a half cup with Carbalose Flour Bread is terrific and even a cup is only 6.8g net carbs and after a filling dinner?…I doubt you could begin to eat a full cup of this.

This is one of my easier recipes to make and you will need Carbalose Flour Bread cubes for it. All my other Carbalose Recipes are listed at the bottom of the Carbalose Informational Page.

Low Carb Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Low Carb Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie DoughLow Carb Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. The other day I found two recipes on Robyn Stone’s website www.addapinch.com  and all I could do was drool.  They sounded so good I decided to low carb ‘em and now I can drool at my own concoctions.  This is the other one.  Candy Bar Dip

Low carb peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough  is so simple it is ridiculous and an easy fix for unexpected company.  This is NOT a cookie dough for baked cookies, it’s a dough to eat with a spoon.  I know all of us low carbers eat a lot of peanut butter in many forms and this is just one more way.

Low Carb Milk Chocolate Candy

Low Carb Milk Chocolate CandyLow Carb Milk Chocolate CandyLow Carb Milk Chocolate Candy. This was an experiment that went terribly wrong and then fabulously right.  I was trying to make ganache with heavy cream and unsweetened baking chocolate-Whoa Nellie, that did not work.  What a no-go that was  but…it pretty much looked the color of milk chocolate so I thought what the heck.  I added a little vanilla, a little sucralose, tasted it, and voila-perfect milk chocolate. So…here is my experiment low carb milk chocolate candy …gone deliciously wrong.  Enjoy.

I will say this-my husband is already addicted to this mistake and he is not a diabetic but…

Milk Chocolate Candy
Print
Ingredients
  1. ½ C Heavy Cream
  2. 1 Oz Bar Unsweetened Bakers Chocolate Grated or Chopped Finely
  3. ¼ t Vanilla (Or A Bit More If Wanted)
  4. 12 Drops Liquid Splenda
Directions
  1. Heat heavy cream to just under boiling-you want it very hot.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Add Chocolate and stir until completely incorporated. In the beginning it will look “grainy” and this will disappear. If needed put back on heat for just a moment or so.
  4. Add vanilla and Splenda and mix in.
  5. If you have a candy mold this will make 18 pieces of candy and if not-line a sheet pan with parchment or better yet your Silpat and spread evenly and stick it in the refrigerator and even better-the freezer.
  6. You will need to handle it gingerly and break it quickly and then keep it refrigerated.
  7. For all the world you will think this is milk chocolate.
  8. 18 Pieces
  9. 31 Calories, 3.3g Fat, .3g Protein, 0.7 Carbs, 0.3g Fiber, 0.4g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. I didn’t do it but for a little better stability you might try a couple tablespoons of butter or coconut oil. It won’t hurt it and I doubt butter would alter the taste any.
  2. If you go the sheet pan parchment paper or Silpat route I think you could easily add some chopped walnuts. Interestingly, though this tastes like milk chocolate it has the consistency of fudge and again I haven’t tried it yet but I plan to. After all, nothing about this recipe was planned.
  3. Good grief, you could add anything you want to this.

Keto Baba Ganoush

Keto Baba GanoushKeto Baba GanoushKeto Baba Ganoush. For the uninitiated, Baba Ganoush is a Middle Eastern eggplant dip. I happen to think this stuff was sent to mankind by the Gods and if you have never had baba ganoush you might go to just about any Middle Eastern restaurant and try it. My prediction…you will love, love, love it-it’s addictive. The idea of the ribbed “waves” is to catch and keep the olive oil in place so if you can make them-please do, or at least make some facsimile of mountains and valleys.

Low Carb Baba GanoushTraditionally keto baba ganoush is smeared around the sides of a shallow bowl with the olives around the perimeter, drizzled with olive oil, and then scooped with torn flatbread or pita but…as low carbers we can not do this so I have given you some terrific alternatives.
Keto Baba Ganoush can be eaten many ways. You can use an olive to scoop a little baba, you can tear a Carbalose Flour Tortillas and scoop with that, you can cut your tortilla into wedges & lightly fry them for use as “pita chips”, you can use red pepper chips, you can use thinly sliced & peel cucumber coins. Don’t want pita chips? Then use Harvarti cheese…but the best way is to use any and all ways.  All combinations of the above work perfectly well as they all compliment the flavor of the baba.  If this doesn’t trip your trigger here is an equally good but different Smoky Eggplant Dip recipe made with my Super LCHF Yogurt, or…full fat store bought.

Baba Ganoush
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Large Or Two Medium Eggplants
  2. ¼ C Tahini
  3. 1-2 t Crushed Garlic (More Is Better)
  4. ¼ C Lemon Juice
  5. 2 T Olive Oil (I Use Extra Oil From The Top Of The Tahini)
  6. 1 t Liquid Smoke
  7. ½ t Salt (Or More To Taste)
  8. Olive Oil To Drizzle
  9. Minced Parsley As Garnish
  10. Pinch Sumac As Garnish
Directions
  1. Prick eggplant several places and roast in a 375° oven for about 45-60 minutes or until very soft and totally collapsed. Split hot eggplant down the center and when you can handle it, drain the juices.
  2. Scoop out ALL eggplant guts and put next 6 ingredients in food processor and process for 2 minutes until smooth. Taste and correct any seasoning.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, garnish with parsley & Kalamata olives.

  8. 34 Calories, 0.5g Protein, 3.3g Fat, 1.2g Carbs, 0.4g Fiber, 0.8g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. How I prepare my eggplant: When the eggplant is finished baking, prop up the head & make a slit all the way through the top and down the front. Let cool for 10-15 minutes and then using the palm of you hand or a large spoon and starting at the top, begin pushing the juice out of it. Repeat this several times until no more comes out. Allow to cool. With a large spoon and a gentle hand, scoop out the pulp making sure you get even all the slimy stuff from the outer skin. Now, taking the crown in your fingers, squeeze the final pulp out of it.
  2. I do this for two reasons 1.) The juice is very sticky and is most of the sugar in an eggplant. 2.) Your final baba will be thicker and easier to scoop.
  3. This is better after being in the fridge a day or so but I’m betting it won’t happen…it tastes way too good to wait.

Low Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls

Low Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut RollsLow Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut RollsLow Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut RollsLow Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls. There are thousands of recipes for cinnamon rolls on the internet and maybe only one or two made with Carbalose Flour.  I hope by the time you make these, you find these Low Carb Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls are the best.

My all-time favorites from long ago and far away were Rich Rum Sticky Buns from The New Basics cookbook by Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins but alas…I can eat them no more.  To look at my copy of the book you would think it was 60 years old but really-I have only had it 28-30. Things have changed again and I have…finally…come up with Keto Rum Sticky Buns and they are to die for good, and life has changed yet again.

Carbalose Cinnamon Walnut Rolls
Print
Dough
  1. 1½ C Carbalose Flour***
  2. 2 T Coconut Flour
  3. 2 T Golden Flaxseed Meal
  4. 2 T Refined Coconut Oil (Or Butter) (plus 1 t For Oiling Pan)
  5. 2 T Gluten
  6. ½ t Salt
  7. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  8. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  9. ½ C Warm Water
  10. 1½ T Yeast
  11. 1 t Sugar
  12. 1 Large Beaten Egg (Reserve 1 T)
  13. ¼ C Warm Heavy Cream
  14. 12 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
  15. ½ t Butter
Filling
  1. 2 C Ground Walnuts (Reserve ½ C)
  2. 2 t Cinnamon
  3. ½ C Allulose Or Sweetener Of Choice
  4. ½ C Soft Butter
Drizzle
  1. 1½ Oz Cream Cheese
  2. 3 T Warm Heavy Cream
  3. 1½ t Vanilla Extract
  4. ¼ C Melted Butter
  5. 6 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
Dough
  1. Put first 8 ingredients in processor.
  2. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  3. Add Sucralose to top of bloomed yeast.
  4. Mix egg, reserve 1 T and then add cream.
  5. Add egg mixture to bloomed yeast mixture.
  6. Start processor and add water & yeast and cream & egg mixtures and process for a minute or so.
  7. If needed, add more water 1-2 T at a time.
  8. Carbalose flour is not sticky but eggs are so this time your dough might be a little sticky and as you are forming the rectangle to put into your pan it will then end up pretty much non-sticky.
  9. Since you will be rolling this into a rectangle, place dough in a small bread pan, cover with film and let rise about 15-20 minutes.
  10. Invert dough onto bench floured countertop (or your trusty Silpat which gives you the perfect sizing with an inch overhang all the way around) and roll out rectangle to about 12”x16”.
  11. Brush 2” egg wash around the perimeter of the dough.
  12. Put walnuts, cinnamon, and sweetener in small processor and grind until nuts are pretty fine.
  13. Spread butter on dough, (if you have a small off-set spatula this works perfectly) this time leaving it about ½” around perimeter. Don’t cover all your egg wash as this is your “glue”.
  14. Sprinkle nut filling evenly on butter and roll making sure the bottom is tightly glued.
  15. Again, if you use a Silpat you will not need any bench flour.
  16. If, after you roll your dough and it is not 16” it will easily stretch and if you get any butter-sugar mixture on the counter, put in onto the top of the rolls after cutting and panning. With seam down-gently slice log into 16 rolls about 1” wide.
  17. With last ½ t butter, grease 10"x10" pan make 4 rows of four-making sure the tails are turned inward so they won’t unroll. If using a 9"x13" pan just put in as evenly as possible.
  18. Cover and rise 30-45 minutes. They will not rise too much but they should get a bit taller.
  19. Put rolls in 340° preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly.
  20. Put cream cheese in small bowl and beat. Add melted butter, Sucralose (or ¼ C Allulose) & vanilla and start adding the warm heavy cream a little at a time until it will “drizzle”.
  21. Pour drizzle all over top and sprinkle with remaining walnut mixture.
  22. Best served warm and if not warm then best just served. These rolls freeze well.
  23. 16 Servings
  24. 250 Calories, 5.6g Protein, 22.0g Fat, 7.4g Carbs, 3.1g Fiber, 4.3g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. I have shown a couple of way to make the rolls and these are the differences: In the upper pics they were done in a 9x5 bread pan which of course was deeper and more or less caramelized the rolls because they were only subjected to heat on the top. I use Just Like Sugar in the glaze and by the time I got to it, it had gone into a “frosting like state” so I frosted them instead of using the drizzle. In the lower pics, I used a 9” shallow round glass pie pan while making the drizzle with Allulose instead of "Just Like Sugar “Brown”, hence the caramel color is no more, and warm enough to actually drizzle. The rolls, because of surrounding heat, were a bit firmer on the edges. I also drizzled them while the rolls were right out of the oven so it would soak into them. All I can say they are terrific both ways.
  2. Sorry, but I only do eight rolls at a time because though they freeze perfectly, it would take me 4 months of Sundays to eat them all.
  3. Although to my mind walnuts are traditional, pecans or a combination may be substituted for walnuts.
  4. The rolls will literally slide out of either baking pan you use which is why they show so well on a another pan.

Dough
  1. 1½ C Carbalose Flour
  2. 2 T Coconut Flour

  4. 2 T Refined Coconut Oil
  5. 1 T Gluten
  6. ½ t Salt
  7. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  8. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  9. 1 Large Egg Beaten (Reserve 2 T For Brushing)
  10. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  11. 10 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  12. ½ C Warm Water
  13. 1 T Yeast
  14. 1 t Sugar
Filling
  1. 1 C Sugar Free Raspberry Preserves
Drizzle
  1. 1 ½ oz Cream Cheese
  2. 3 T Warm Heavy Cream
  3. ½ t Vanilla Extract
  4. ¼ t Almond Extract
  5. 1 T Melted Butter
  6. 6-7 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  7. ¼ C Toasted Sliced Almonds
Directions
  1. Put first 8 ingredients in processor.
  2. Bloom yeast with sugar in warm water for 10 minutes.
  3. Add Sucralose to top of bloomed yeast.
  4. Add beaten egg and heavy cream to processor, start, add water & yeast and process at least one minute.
  5. Carbalose flour is not sticky but eggs are so this time your dough might be a little sticky and as you are forming the rectangle to put into your pan it will then end up pretty much non-sticky.
  6. Since you will be rolling this into a rectangle place dough in your bread pan, cover with film and let rise about 30 minutes.
  7. Invert dough onto bench floured countertop and roll out rectangle to about 10”x16”.
  8. Now, leaving center 4” uncut and beginning at the top, cut every ¾” down one side and correspondingly down the other side at about a 60 degree angle. I use a bench scraper for this because it is blunt but it will cut completely through the dough and if you have to use a knife be very careful not to cut your counter.
  9. Spread center 2 ½” with raspberry filling.
  10. Brush about 1” of the inside braid tips with your reserved beaten egg.
  11. Starting, again at the top, bring one braid across filling and cross it with one from the other side all the way down.
  12. OK, here comes the tricky part. If you have help great and most of the time we don’t so…you have to kind of scrunch it up and quickly transfer braid to parchment lined sheet pan. (Or better yet your Silpat) Once you have made the transfer you can re-position and stretch it.
  13. Brush the entire braid with egg wash, cover with film and let rise 15-20 minutes. It may not rise much and it will a little in the oven. You want pastry a bit denser and not bread-like.
  14. Put Braid in 340 degree preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  15. Put cream cheese in small bowl and beat. Add melted butter & both extracts and start adding the warm heavy cream a little at a time until it will “drizzle” and then drizzle the top of your braid and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Voila-finished.

  17. 143 Calories, 5.7g Protein, 8.12g Fat, 11.7g Carbs, 3.2g Fiber, 8.5g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. There are certainly other options for your filling. Any sugar free jam would work and any butter, sugar, and ground nut combo would work. So experiment and have fun. An orange glaze on a strawberry filled pastry comes to mind.
  2. If it’s summer and you have access to fresh raspberries the drizzle is wonderful on them too.
  3. **If you decide to use this braid recipe with a savory filling reduce Sucralose to 4 drops.

Low Carb Carbalose Flour Tortillas

Low Carb Carbalose Flour TortillasLow Carb Carbalose Flour Tortillas. Don’t really have much to say about these low carb Carbalose Flour Tortillas except they are beyond delicious and terribly functional.  I have to say, because I am diabetic and know how to cook, that Carbalose flour has been a gift.  I am extremely carb sensitive and this flour does virtually nothing to my blood sugar. Since we are all different and especially if you are diabetic, then you need to check all the Carbalose recipes for yourself.

Carbalose Flour may be purchased from Netrition.

Carbalose Flour Tortillas
Print
Ingredients
  1. 4 Cups Carbalose Flour*** + More For Bench Flour
  2. ¼ t Guar Gum
  3. ¼ t Xanthan Gum
  4. 1½ t Salt
  5. ½ t Baking Powder (Not Really Needed)
  6. ½ C Real Lard (Or 1 Stick Butter If You Have To)
  7. 2 C Boiling Water
  8. 9 Drops Liquid Sucralose***
Instructions
  1. Place the flour in processor.
  2. Add dry ingredients and fat.
  3. Add Sucralose to water.
  4. Start processor and pour boiling water over the ingredients. Process for about a 1 minute. Dough should be very moist, very soft, and will not be sticky.
  5. Cut the dough into 14-2½ oz. pieces and form into little balls and flatten to a four inch disk with your fingers tips.
  6. Cover your flattened disks and let rest for 20 minutes.
  7. Apply bench flour and starting from the center roll out and then in until you form an oval. Lift up the oval and turn it 45 degrees, and roll it out again. Turn it 45 degrees again to the right until you have an 8” circle (or something resembling one. You want your tortillas as thin as you can get without them tearing.
  8. Place the tortilla on a hot (375-400 degree) griddle pan, or cast-iron skillet. It may or may not forms small bubbles on the upside of the tortilla. When they are just turning brown flip over the tortilla, and if it bubbles or inflates a bit-stick the tip of a knife in them.
  9. I just stack all 14 of these babies one on top of another as they come off the griddle and when I'm finished I wrap the whole stack with film, stick them in a 1 gallon freezer bag and freeze them. Unlike traditional tortillas they do NOT STICK TOGETHER and you can get them straight from the freezer one by one.

Notes
  1. Please note the use of *Sucralose in each of the recipes using Carbalose is only to negate the bitter taste of the flour and DOES NOT make the recipe “sweet”.
  2. If you have a Silpat these can be rolled on it and you will not need the additional bench flour.
  3. Lard is the true secret to real tortillas. Not Crisco and definitely not the hydrogenated crap you can buy in you local grocery store-I’m talking about your own rendered lard which is actually quite easy to do yourself and if not it can be purchased on the internet. In your dreams you cannot imagine how good lard makes a tortilla. It is much better to use butter than either of the other two alternatives.
  4. Don’t forget, you can make your own low carb chips with these. Cut each tortilla into eight wedges, brush lightly with oil, sprinkle with a bit of salt and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. You of course can also fry them in oil and…yes this is what I do...in lard or…in tallow. Oh my goodness.
  5. If you tear a tortilla when you are rolling it, just ball it up and start over.

If your husband finds this Roast Beef Spread in the refrigerator he may grab a fork, stand there with the fridge door open, and eat it out of the bowl and…you will scream at him.  This is good on Sour Cream & Chive Crackers or Hazelnut Parmesan Crackers  and if you decide to use this spread in a sandwich you can put it on Naan Flat Bread (pictured) and top it with Pickled Red Onions or spread it on a Carbalose Flour Tortillas and oh yeah, plain, right out of the bowl with a fork.  It’s OK if you do it…just not your husband.  If you prefer to make a really hearty breakfast with your left-over Prime Rib you may wish to try the Roast Beef Hash. Low carb roast beef spread, it’s pretty hard to put your fork down.

Mt. Olive Sugar-Free Bread & Butter Chips (wow are these good) are available on Netrition.

Notes
  1. Another alternative serving suggestion: Put a couple of pieces of lettuce on a small plate and serve as a side salad.
  2. I had occasion to do a prime rib roast but if you slow-cook your own chuck roast and shred it this works wonderfully for this recipe, it’s much less expensive and you may not need to process it.
  3. My best guess is that you will get 8-10 servings from this unless you pile it on a very large sandwich.
  4. If you’ve not had Mt Olive sugar-free bread & butter pickles they are a quick, safe addiction.
  5. I gussied it up a bit with a few pickled red onions & a couple of pickles.

Keto Sauce Béarnaise

Keto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce Béarnaise. In the summer of 1972 in East Lansing, MI I had the opportunity to live in a house with 5 HRI (hotel, restaurant, & institutional management) students and I jumped at it.  It was the responsibility of each of us, one day a week, to shop with $10.00, prepare a meal for 6, and all sit down together to eat.  Talk about the good ole days-can you imagine feeding 6 college students on $10/day now?  Someone made this recipe and I have been making it ever since.  My only tweak has been the addition of the tarragon vinegar.   The reason I like it is that it is made in a food processor rather than over a double boiler of hot water.  This is so much much easier and pretty much full-proof if your butter is hot enough.  The French make this sauce so much harder and as you can see, I now make it the old fashioned way.

The absolute secret to this particular Keto Sauce Béarnaise is the use of tarragon vinegar.  I do add lemon juice to mine because I often enough serve it with seafood but I find the lemon juice goes with about anything.  Good on a brick but better yet on a good steak or Stuffed Shrimp. Those are NOT potatoes in the two lower pictures. They are either Dilled Red Radishes or Daikon Radish Fries but they sure do act and taste like potatoes.

Sauce Béarnaise
Print
Ingredients
  1. Ingredients
  2. 3 Large Egg Yolks Room Temperature
  3. 2 T White Wine
  4. 1 Stick Butter
  5. 1 Minced Nice Sized Shallot
  6. ¼ C Tarragon Vinegar
  7. ¼ C Water
  8. ½ t Dried Tarragon Leaves
  9. Pinch Cayenne Pepper
  10. ¼ t Tarragon
  11. 2 T Lemon Juice (Optional For When Using Sauce With Seafood)
  12. ¼ t Salt
Directions
  1. Start to slowly clarify butter-if you do it slowly it will not sputter & spatter and as it begins to clarify swirl the saucepan several times.
  2. Mince Shallot, add to vinegar & water, add ½ t tarragon and cayenne pepper and simmer ever so slowly. The idea is the get the minced shallot very soft. If you need more moisture add a bit more vinegar. When this is finished it should have just a little moisture left-maybe a T or so.
  3. Put egg yolks and white wine in small processor & add shallot mixture.
  4. Strain butter to get rid of the little cruddy buttons and immediately begin slowing pouring into running processor. It should thicken toward the end if your butter is hot enough so make sure you take butter from the stove, strain, and begin using immediately. The idea is that the very hot butter will “cook” the yolks and thicken them.
  5. Add lemon juice, (if using) last ¼ t tarragon, salt, and process. Taste and correct seasoning if necessary.

Low Carb Stuffed Shrimp

Low Carb Stuffed ShrimpLow Carb Stuffed ShrimpLow Carb Stuffed Shrimp. I have had a lot of really good food in my life and this Low Carb Stuffed Shrimp is in my top 5.  I was unable to eat it for several years until I came up with the Carbalose Flour Bread recipe and now I can finally have it again so YeeHaw.  I also have for many years loved dilled potatoes with low carb stuffed shrimp and I now I can eat something very close as I can eat it with Dilled Red Radishes.  Pretty tricky huh? And this is drool worthy in my foodie world.

You will need Carbalose Flour Bread Breadcrumbs  and the recipe for Sauce Béarnaise to complete the dish. If you are a complete shrimp & crab purest there is always Keto Crab Stuffed Shrimp.

All my other Carbalose Recipes are listed at the bottom of the Carbalose Informational Page.

Stuffed Shrimp
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Lb. Very Large Shrimp (Hopefully 16 Per Pound)
  2. 3 C Carbalose Flour*** Breadcrumbs
  3. ¼ C Grated Onions (I put mine is a small processor which will get them very small)
  4. ½ C Sour Cream
  5. ¼ C Melted Butter
  6. ½ t Tarragon
  7. ¼ t Thyme
  8. ¼ t Pepper
  9. ¼ t Salt
  10. 2 T Melted Butter
Directions
  1. When ready to cook preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Carefully peel shrimp trying not to lose the tail meat.
  3. Put bread crumbs in a bowl.
  4. Mix next 8 ingredients together and then mix well into bread crumbs.
  5. Count your shrimp making sure you have that many little flattened stuffing balls. Use about a tablespoon for each which will sit atop your shrimp.
  6. Foil line a pan and smear last 2 T of butter. I like to sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and garlic salt on the butter but it is not necessary. The garlic salt just adds a little something extra-a lagniappe if you will.
  7. Take the shrimp and make a circle tucking the tail inside if possible.
  8. Top each shrimp with a round puck of stuffing.
  9. Bake 10-12 minutes and finish by browning the stuffing under the broiler.
  10. Serve topped with Sauce Béarnaise.
