Causela de Marisco

Tomorrow a favorite of our menu is Casuela de Marisco, served with white rice and Crab Empanadas.  Lots of avocado slices and Pan de Agua.  This dish is a favorite in most Caribbean and south American costal countries.  This particular recipe is fashioned after the best Casuela I ever had.  Oddly enough it wasn't in the tropics but right here in the great state of Texas. The next time you  travel to the Rio Grande Valley, stop in Edinburg off Hwy 281 to McAllen, and find La Jaiba Shrimp House  at 524 West University Dr (956) 316-3474 lajaibashrimphouse.com.  You will enter a very laid back environment designed to make your meal a pleasant experience.  Local musicians will wander in and play Mariachi music for your entertainment.  Shrimp the size of lobster tails and other delicious seafood cuisine dishes are featured.  In my opinion, one of the best seafood restaurants in Texas.    Tomorrow we will try to live up to the Jaiba and prepare their signature dish at Don Mael's Fiambrera, join us!
