About Doug and June

This Blog was the brainchild of Doug and June...as they spend as much time discussing food as just about anything else. I (June) suggested Food Porn as a name for this blog, but he (Doug) thought people would get the wrong idea and be looking for some oddly shaped cucumbers or something like that and I had to agree. So he came up with Food DJ (Food Doug & June) if you couldn't figure it out on your own. But you will find here is some awesome recipes and lovely pictures of food (and possibly the equally lovely Doug eating said food). However just warning you, I believe Doug has an unhealthy preoccupation with bacon. Might I (June)add that I love glossy, scrumptious, food-porn-filled cookbooks? The glossy paper, the photos that ooze calories, the chatty yet suggestive descriptions... ahh I smell sex and bacon.

Outback Steakhouse Shrimp on the Barbie- copycat recipe



I like shrimp..I like grilling..hence I like grilled shrimp
I researched a bunch of recipes and this one is outstanding..
and easy..so in the spirit of those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.. grill on, my little foodies!!

OK so I am cheating...lol...using the outback recipe..but hell, it's good!!

Outback Steakhouse Shrimp on the Barbie


1 pound jumbo shrimp
olive oil
1 splash white wine


***Dry Rub for Shrimp***
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder, to taste



Mix all ingredients for the dry rub. Coat shrimp with rub and let sit for one hour.

Saute the shrimp in olive oil, adding the white wine. Only cook until the shrimp are pink on each side. Do not overcook.

To cook on the grill: Baste the coated shrimp with olive oil and white wine. Grill over medium heat until just cooked (pink on both sides).

Cooking shrimp only takes a few minutes.


The recipe is good! It tastes a lot like Outback's. However, I would caution you with the Cayenne pepper. The amount the recipe calls for makes them VERY spicy. I think they are better without it all. But, that's my preference.
