Shrimp cook-off

A while back we were asked by RCA to help them promote the Crangon Crangon (commonly known as the brown or sand shrimp). Besides their fresh website and blog the Dutch fishery agency wanted to highlight these shrimps of the North Sea by reaching out to the blogosphere.

In order to do so, a competition was devised with a simple scope. Throughout a 4 week period bloggers were invited to make and share an original yet tasty dish incorporating shrimps. The best recipes, judged by chef Felix Alen, were eligible for a spot in the grand finale where they will compete for a great weekend at the Waddenzee with friends or family.

Recipes in of all colours and flavours reached us. No ordinary tomates crevettes, but often creative and refreshing creations, proving once again your average blogger knows how to think out of his/her lunchbox.

Curious to see who will be crowned the queen or king of shrimps at the final cook-off which will be held on thursday the 17th of december at Kookeiland in Deurne. We wish the final contestants (Ntone, SasvanGent, Minorissues, Hungryfeelings, Coolinary & Keukenweetjes) the best of luck.
