Chef Daves Creamy Crab And Shrimp Over Wild Rice

Does campfire cooking have to be boring and plain? No! You can cook like a gourmet chef out in the wilderness if you want to and eat like a king. Here, we have some rare Bineshii rice covered in a shrimp sauce with crab meat. All over a fire on a homemade grill! #campfire #campfire_cooking #campfirecooking

I was so thrilled this morning when I saw the notification for Chef Dave. I’m home recovering from surgery and I’m bored out of my tree so when I saw that and it was going to be a fancy meal in the bush. I knew I was in for a treat. I thought there was going to be some déjà vue with the butter but the gourmet meal was a success. Thanks Dave and Nick I enjoyed this.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Fantastic to hear it helped make the time better and We are glad you liked it. Heal up well. This meal definitely came out way better than I hoped for! Thanks for watching

Another Chef Dave's dish to try! ChisandAmanda " the happiest couple on Earth", may you have many years together. Tell each other every chance you get how much you love each other and how special the other is to you. You never know when your last chance will be. I recently lost my wife of 43 years in an unexpected accident. I wish I had another hour with her so I could tell her again. Cook this dish with each other and make it special. Don't mean to be a downer, so I'll finish bawling and let Dave and Nick make me smile. Best wishes.

[@Olyphoto7]

@@Reallybigmonkey1 thanks for sharing a window into your world. It’s been fun to see your relationship with Nick grow as I’ve raised my own boys. It’s one heck of a crazy ride, parenting. I still use many of the things I’ve learned from you and taught some to my kids. I still can’t do a hand drill worth a darn but have turned flint and steel into my favorite fire starting method. I just ran across an old pill bottle with alcohol and wood chunks from a very old winter video where you used it to heat up your coffee, classic Dave ingenuity. Thanks again!

[@granny4751]

YUMMYYYYYYYYY! That looks so good. I think it would be awesome with just adding shrimp as well. (from not so much of a crab fan, lol) Should you ever decide to make this again, I would humbly like to suggest a couple of tips. When boiling the rice, add the salt to the water with just the rice and cook until it is the tenderness you like. Drain off the water and then add your butter and spices to the rice to keep that buttery goodness, before you add the sauce. 😊 A fact that I learned, wild rice contains small amounts of arsenic. Adding onions or garlic helps the body detoxify the arsenic from your system! As always, Blessings to you and Thanks.💜 Just Granny

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Granny! We are glad you liked it. Ill definitely try shrimp next time, the crab meat was too shredded to have much flavor. I was going by the wild rice cookbook but what you said made sense. Too bad Nick hates onions, thats the only reason why I left them out. Thanks for watching and blessings to you too Granny!

[@oathtaker2768]

I agree granny.

[@joefrank7159]

In your case. It's not the number of videos. It's the quality of the videos you make. Very informative and entertaining. Thank you for what I have learned.

[@jasonjohnson6344]

Once I saw the lid go on the pot of water, I had to pause the video and go make myself something to eat. I’ve been down this road before and chef Dave always makes me hungry. That’s definitely the REAL wild rice I’m used to. Yum.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Lol, I love it when these vids make people hungry! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Jason

[@reddirt5489]

Congratulations on your 300th video 🎉 Every time Nick and Dave goes to the woods it’s going to be great! There was a series of videos where you were fabricating grills and cook systems of all types. Those were some of my favorite. Also loved watching you put each one of them through their paces. It’s always a great time watching you both 😊 Can’t wait for number 301 👍

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks and we are glad you liked it! We always have a great time together in the woods. I absolutely love creating cooksets and grills. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching my friend

[@Dajaphil]

I ran kitchens for most of my life, and ordinarily when you have a cooking video, I find myself yelling at the computer "YOUR FIRE IS WAY TO HOT DAVE!!" However, this time you accomplished a perfect simmer and did it just right. Congratulations on a delicious looking recipe!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Kinda hard to judge on these fires. For a lot of water you'll want flames to preheat the pot. Then as it dies down to coals you can cook. If theres not enough coals or they burn too fast you gotta add wood which creates more flames you don't want! It's a very tricky situation when using wood for fuel. Thanks for watching my friend

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Again, I am with Nick: aluminum plates transmit way too much heat. The shrimp can stand out by itself. CONGRATULATIONS on your 300th video. Each and every one of them has been of fine quality and real instructional value.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

I have aluminum, stainless steel and plastic plates, I think they all get hot. Thanks for the comments James and thanks for watching Brother!

I always believed that eating on a camp trip should equal or exceed what one has @home, quality wise.

Thanks, BOTH of you, for teaching that lesson! And as always, happy trails...!

Hello Dave and Nick , the reason the paper wrap on the crab is so the crap does not react to the metal can and give the crab a metallic taste . I am not sure of the science behind it but it works . That rice will be good for a winter camp meal , some potatoes , onion garlic and some meat .

This was a great video from 2 of my favorite you tubers,and your cooking expertise is beyond compare,and with Nick paying attention to ole Dad's cookin in the woods,im sure he will be doing the same if he is ever out with his friends in the woods.I will definitely try this recipe though as soon as i get into a crab and shrimp and wild rice mood,and i bet a can of mushrooms would even spice it up even more .anyways this video was my Saturday night entertainment instead of tv.Thanks again for a great meal and i bet a trail cam where all the crab juice and everything else was poured out would show half the animals in the woods enjoying your recipe as well lol.We always enjoy your videos and we will see you on the next one!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Dennis! And we are glad you liked it. No telling what little additions can make the recipe much better. Lol, I never thought about that but a trail cam would be cool in that area! Take care and thanks for watching

[@tomcreekdevil5967]

AWESOME STUFF! I'm all the way over on the west coast and I can smell it here. I bet it would work just as well with Crawdads. Great video!

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks Tom, Im glad you liked it. Oh yes, crawdads would be just as good! Thanks for watching

[@RobBernhard]

300 videos is amazing. What a great way to celebrate: with a fantastic meal. Thank you, as always, for sharing what you have learned (and continue to learn) even if things get a little chaotic! 😊

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

It took years to get to 300 but every step of the way was fun! Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching Rob

I’m waiting for some food products in a can that are called, " Chef Boy Oh Dave” 🤪😘 I like wild rice, it takes longer to cook, but it’s well worth the wait. Never bring a round pan to a flat pan fire….😂 My P38’s stay on my keychains at all times. One of my P38’s I got in army basic training in January 1980, it still is very sharp. Great job, guys. ✌️🇺🇸

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Lol! Now that would be a good product line! That little pan works great on a common grill but not on this new one! I cant keep up with my P38 because I rarely use canned food at camp. Thanks for watching Brother

[@oprophetisfake9482]

You guys are making me hungry and again. It looks and sounds delicious. I'm just waiting for smell-and-taste-ovision. All the best to you and your family.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

We really need smell o vision and taste o vision on here! Thanks for watching and all the best to you too

[@tikkidaddy]

Hey where did you find an Elvis impersonator out in the woods Dave..."Thank you, thank you verruh much" for making me want seafood at 830 am😂

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

To empty those cans of juice you go ahead and cut the lid off and then press inwardly and if you want to you can rinse with water and continually to squeeze to desired dryness

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Thanks for the tip Joseph

[@josephoreynolds1742]

I've never seen cream of shrimp soup in the store.. looks really good. I love wild rice. Glad to see Nick back again. The Happy birthday rendition was nice since today is my gf s birthday 😁. Nice video as usual.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Not all stores carry it. I looked at several stores and finally found it at Publix. This was so delicious! Happy birthday to your gf and thanks for watching Sam

If you’re looking for a good reliable way to get a fire going that doesn’t take up “much” room, and IF you “play” with a chainsaw much (I do) then cut a length of wood that is the same as your saws bar, THEN cut PARALLEL to the grain of the wood several times all the way through. You’ll end up with LOONNNG strands of sawdust and those will be approximately .030” thick. Those are called “noodles”. Those noodles catch fire very easy even when cut fresh from a freshly cut down tree that’s alive when cut down. They take up a little room but they are EXTREMELY lightweight. They don’t burn ridiculously fast but put out a good amount, so try it out at home to get a feel for what I’m referring to.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

Interesting! Almost like long grain shavings! I'll give that a try!

[@justjackfromsc]

You guys crack me up. Thanks.

[@Reallybigmonkey1]

You are very welcome my friend!
