Domestic Seafood Recipe

I was browsing online while I was on break and I found this website about the contest called Cook off which is the most prestigious culinary competitions, one chef and one state will walk away with the title of King of American Seafood. Governor Jindal issued the challenge for states to send us their best chef and most delicious domestic sustainable seafood. What interest me is Andre Bienvenu of the renowned Joe’s Stone Crab will be showcasing all that Florida is ‘cracked’ up to be. The whole show looks really exciting since each state can send their best chef to be in the show and Hopefully Florida will be the master Chef(right?) . It made me think of my home away from home since I have been wondering how to make my favorite seafood dish. It is really hard for me since I am not a kitchen junkie. I never had any interest in in cooking ever since I was a little girl. My mother always told me to learn how to cook and even my father tried to pass on his dish but I never learned it and I am always been the eater. I have missed his recipe with pasta and shrimp (I don't even know what he called it, all I remember is it was so good!) Now that I am far from my hometown and it will take me a day for a plane ride, it is impossible for me have that dish again unless somebody will give me any idea on how to make it .
