Blackened Shrimp Baked Pecan Pie

Decent Essays
I probably should have stopped after the Blackened Shrimp Baked Potato, but I couldn't complete my trip to the State Fair of Texas without a fried dessert. We decided to spend our last 14 tickets ($7) on something memorable. The Fried Pecan Pie came fresh out the grease and topped with extra pecans. One bite of this fried pie was the equivalent of two Benadryls. It felt like a warm sweet blanket wrapping around our body.

The inside mimicked pecan pie filling down to the density. Every bite was overflowing with pecans which are hard to find in pecan dishes that are not homemade. Jenae and I had a debate over who got the last bite because both of us were too full to finish it. The only sad part about this creation is the absence of ice cream

    The penne was cooked perfectly al dente, with just a slight chew to add a heft to the dish. The same ingredients that were in the croquets are represented here too. Now instead of being blended into a sauce, the cremini mushrooms are displayed proudly folded into the pasta. This is again sprinkled with a generous portion of white truffle olive oil and if that isn't rich enough they add giant shavings of some of the best parmesan that I have ever had just slowly softening into the hot penne. In this dish the copious amounts of rich mushrooms are balanced ingenious with some…
