Hey, who really has the time for making an authentic Creole recipe? This recipe is straight from the Big D. It's an easy, spicy gumbo recipe using our Bloody Mary Mix as the base. Feel free to add some sausage and okra (ok, maybe not the okra).
Cook rice as per directions in a small pot. After cleaning and peeling shrimp, In a pan, cook your shrimp thoroughly. In a separate medium pot, pour in the bloody mary mix and heat to simmer. Once rice is cooked, add to pot with simmering bloody mary and stir until mixed. Add shrimp. Heat until the mix just barely starts to bubble and continue stirring. As the product thickens, turn off the heat, serve in bowls, place avocado slices in bowl and add dollop of sour cream to each bowl.

First, eat all of the McClure's pickles out of the jar. Second, pour the brine over a couple of chicken breasts. Third, grill and ... enjoy! Or is that fourth? Anyways, our brine is the best way to give fish, chicken and even pork a tender and delicious flavor.

leftover McClure's brine from garlic dill pickles
2 all natural chicken breasts
(1) 1 gallon plastic bag
directions
Using the remaining brine, garlic and dill from a jar of McClure's garlic dill spears, in a 1 gallon plastic bag place your clean and refrigerator thawed chicken breasts in the bag and pour the brine over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 6 hours. Fire up the grill, discard the liquid from the bag and place your chicken on the grill. Cook thoroughly and place on clean plate.
