Found this in a Grocery Store flyer. Sounded really good but after trying we really did not care for it. Way too much lemon. If you like this flavor may be ok to you. I like lemon but this was just too much.

Belongs to cokerlj Baked Ham with Bourbon Glaze 
  • Currently 4/5 Stars.
  • Star_small_rt

I finally tried this glaze! I started by boiling my ham as usual, cut back on time, then placed in a pan put glaze on, covered and finished off in the oven. I’ve never gotten so many compliments!
I prefer to boil my ham…bet you could use this glaze after boiling ham and just put in oven to set glaze.

  • honey
  • brown sugar
  • bourbon
  • Dijon mustard
  • orange juice
  • About 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • smoked ham half

You can purchase the RC Seafood Bisque on-line from Redi-Base. They have a line of mixes intended for commercial restaurant use…you will have to break down their recipes to figure out how much of the redi-base mix you will need, which is what I did with this recipe.
I was enticed to seek out a recipe for my favorite dish at a local cajun restaurant called simply Sauted Shrimp. The sauce was delicious…I have a pretty good “taster” and decided the sauce was not unlike a lobster bisque. I kept searching for what I thought would be a similar recipe and found this.

You might need to buy:
  • milk
  • butter
  • dry sherry
  • cajun/creole seasoning
  • paprika
  • heavy cream
  • peeled and deveined shrimp
  • butter or oil to sear shrimp
  • just a touch of garlic salt to season shrimp
  • RC Seafood Bisque by weight
  • cooked Minute Rice
  • chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • lemon wedge for garnish

This is my own variation…I took what I liked of two different versions of this recipe and made my own. We use this on red snapper, red fish/red drum, and black drum. Those fish have about the same texture and similar taste.
We do not care for thyme, so I add even less than 1/8 teaspoon. I will make the sauce ahead, you can just let it sit while you are doing your fish as the fish doesn’t take very long at all and you can just quickly re-heat the sauce.
This is one of those recipes that you can adjust to taste. I have even used white wine if I didn’t have red wine…it is still very good.

You might need to buy:
  • avacado sliced
  • OPTIONAL ITEMS FOR GARNISH IF DESIRED:
  • just a little butter as needed
  • flour as needed
  • fish fillets
  • thyme
  • marjoram
  • salt
  • each bay leaves
  • dried oregano leaves
  • sugar
  • capers
  • lemon juice
  • chopped pickled jalapeno pepper
  • petite diced tomatoes
  • tomato paste
  • V-8 vegetable juice
  • fresh parsley diced
  • red wine
  • garlic minced
  • red wine vinegar
  • medium onion diced
  • parsley sprigs
  • olive oil
  • cilantro sprigs
