Top Secret Mexican Noodle Recipe

     Everyone always wants to know “ how” Tony makes his  legendary Mexican Noodles ...they definitely have a cult following -if you have tasted them,  then you know why.

   What you may not know , is that he keeps his recipe top secret. 

             For years we had several recipes written on the walls in our kitchen for easy reference for our staff to execute quickly - Pancake Mix, Scones, Biscuits, Bloody Mary Mix etc.  

 Tony began to write Mexican Noodles on the wall of recipes, the staff couldn’t believe it  ....turns out he was “ Just Kidding”- he’s not sharing ,lol!

 He is still not sharing his recipe,  but they will be available Laura & Tony’s Kitchen New Gourmet Market Cafe serving Gourmet All Day!

                                                                Opening June 2021!

Honk, if you Love Laura & Tony's Kitchen !

Lately ,one of the nicest sounds we hear while we are working to wake up our restaurant after its winter slumber ,is the sound of folks honking as they pass by - welcoming us back and cheering us on !

This year, the honking somehow carries more meaning -when we look at the restaurant landscape that surrounds us and how it has changed in one year - we are feeling grateful and blessed to have another opportunity to do what we love - bringing Amazing Food to our Customers.

Thinking Spring! and Spice Crusted Wild Shrimp with Remoulade Sauce

Laura & Tony’s Kitchen

Gourmet Market   Cafe 

With the warmer weather approaching, we are looking forward to (small) gatherings with friends and family ....outdoors, safely distanced of course!

      This is an easy to prepare, flavorful Shrimp recipe that has been in our family for years ( Thanks Kathy!)   - it is great as an appetizer, but can easily be served as an entree, salad topper or even Tacos !!

Perfect recipe to have in your repertoire.

Spice Crusted  Wild Shrimp with Remoulade  Sauce

Sauce :- can be prepared up to three days in advance

1/4 cup mayonnaise *(option use low fat)

1/4 cup plain yogurt *

1 teaspoon grated lime rind 

1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon capers,chopped

dash of ground pepper

 Combine all ingredients and keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Shrimp:

1 Tbsp  ground cumin

1 Tbsp paprika 

2 tsp  ground coriander

1 tsp  garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp  black pepper

40  shrimp peeled & deveined ( about 2 pounds) we always look for Wild USA Gulf Shrimp 16-20 

olive oil

cilantro optional 

Combine spices in a large ziplock bag, dry shrimp with paper towel and add to spices up to one hour before you plan to cook - toss to coat

In a hot (med high heat) nonstick pan add oil, add shrimp they should sizzle, if not, your pan is not hot enough .... be careful not to overcrowd, you want a crisp sear on each shrimp ...yum!!!

cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side or until cooked thru, remove shrimp and keep warm on a tray single layer  in a 200*F oven until all shrimp are cooked ....again, don’t overcrowd or they will steam and  you will lose the delicious crispy sear ...

serve shrimp with sauce and garnish with cilantro

Great served with a chilled Pinot Grigio,a crisp,Handcrafted IPA or your favorite beverage!

  It is true , if we weren't made to feel so uncomfortable by Covid, we would have continued on with our Amazing Breakfast Buffet that we established in 2004- 

Nothing made Tony and I happier than to be in the kitchen ,having the 70's music playing loud, being surrounded by like minded employees, who loved the food and loved the adrenaline rush of a high volume restaurant!

   Think of all of your favorites from our Amazing Buffet- Apple wood Smoked Bacon, Our famous Pork Sausage Links, Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Gorgeous, tender perfectly cooked omelets etc ... Did I mention $3 Bloody Mary and Mimosas? 

We are still keeping the same standards for our Gourmet Market / Cafe - Slow Food, Made From Scratch and Cooked in Small Batches just a different delivery and in some respects, we feel the variety of items and the different ways you can enjoy our Amazing Food will be bigger and better.

Learning to PIVOT in 2021

TO SAY THIS PAST YEAR HAS BEEN DIFFICULT is an understatement. We are constantly reminding ourselves, that in a year filled with many great losses for us, that there are still many things for us to be grateful for -

                Tony and I have always been grateful for our good health , but now we are especially grateful, we are also thankful there is a vaccine available for us all soon!

           We are dreaming about our future at Laura & Tony's Kitchen, it is bittersweet, but we will not be returning to our beloved  "Amazing Breakfast Buffet. We feel the stigma surrounding buffets, in general, will take some time to fade and to be honest, our top priority has always been the safety of our guests and staff.

   PIVOT is the buzzword of  the 2020's.  SO we are pivoting, we have decided to build on the specialties we made famous on our Amazing Breakfast Buffet and create  Laura & Tony's  GOURMET MARKET, BAKERY and CAFE 

  As always, we specialize in  Slow food ,made from scratch ,cooked in small batches - all the things that you love about Laura & Tony's Kitchen- Homemade Bagels, Fresh Scones, Our Signature Carrot Cake, GF Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche, Charleston Style Grits , Mexican Noodles , Caesar Salad, Smoked Salmon etc.-  we are planning a new menu of prepared foods ( Lobster Salad , Grilled Chicken, Roasted Vegetables , Hummus to list a few ) to be enjoyed on our premises ,at your favorite beach or in the safety of your own home - we also are including a new Plant Based section for our Vegan and Vegetarian friends - or for anyone who enjoys well prepared, gourmet,  meatless cuisine💓

Of course, you can still visit us for an Amazing Breakfast just order off our Cafe Menu dine in/take out - or order online for Contactless pick up  Gorgeous, perfectly cooked Omelettes, Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Our Famous Bread Pudding French Toast , Pancakes , Eggs Benedict , Smoked Salmon on a Homemade Bagel , Freshly brewed Organic Sumatra Coffee Locally Roasted from Beanstock Coffee, need I say more ,lol
