    For stuffing and serving, these stout fork tender cuts are perfect for getting the job done. And there’s nothing wrong with a little extravagance from time to time like a Shrimp Etouffee Stuffed Filet Mignon.

    This plump filet is stuffed with etouffee, and topped with even more! This is totally decadent.

    Maybe you are in the mood for something extravagant. Maybe you have something to prove in the kitchen. Maybe you are just looking to impress. Whatever your motivation, these juicy thick cuts of beef filled with a little flavor from the south is the perfect solution.

    Talk about a show stopper, I am not sure what was more appealing here, the 2 inch choice cut or the fresh seafood filling. Over some perfect gratin potatoes or maybe even a wild rice combo, consider this Shimp Etouffeé Stuffed Filet Mignon one for the money.

    Personally, I wouldn’t pick filet as my first draft if I was looking to just grill a steak and serve it naked. But for stuffing and serving, these stout fork tender cuts are perfect for getting the job done. And there’s nothing wrong with a little extravagance from time to time.

    Who ever said it wasn’t the size that counts?

      Dear Kita, I could not agree with you more. Every once and a while you have to treat yourself and indulge a little. I have been passing over steak for the last week at the market, but you have inspired me to pick some up next time.

      This sounds magnificent…have a wonderful day. xo, Catherine
