Peach BBQ Ribs, Peking Ribs, and Peach BBQ Shrimp

Sunday's come and go so quickly these days.  Here we were, Sunday again and we were headed to my parent's for dinner.  I try to go over to my parent's house most Sunday's and cook for them most of the time.  They are my most honest food critics.  A quick run down for all the non-Asian people...Asian parents typically do not beat around the bush or shy when they tell you something.  If they do not like something, they will flat out tell you that it is not good.  There is no better way to get feedback.

Any who, I was flipping through the HEB weekly ad that day and they had specials on spareribs which I have not cooked in forever.  As I had mentioned in my previous grilled rib blog, I like my ribs that you have to use your teeth to tear off the bone.  So spareribs was going to be the star of the dinner that night. I had some extra peach BBQ sauce I had made a couple weeks ago as well.

That morning and afternoon was raining and did not seem like it was going to let up, but I had my mind set for spareribs already and I had to have it.  

When I arrived at my parent's house, I quickly seasoned the ribs.  I decided to use my special rub on one slab and a five spice powder on the other slab since I wanted to do a play on my peking ribs (which is fried).  I popped them in the oven for about two hours.

Then my Mom decides to pull out some extra large shrimp.  I quickly tossed that with just salt and pepper.  

As I waited for the ribs to partially cook in the oven, I made my peking sauce so I can brush on the ribs.  

After the ribs had been in the oven for two hours, I pulled them and finished them on the grill to get that char.  As the ribs were coming to an end, I started brushing on the Peach BBQ sauce on one slab and the peking sauce on the other.  I returned it to the fire and did this several times so the sauce would caramelize.  As I was doing this, I tossed on the shrimp and saw that I had some a little peach BBQ sauce left in the jar so I toss that on the shrimp as well.  As I was finishing, on the grill, my Mom walks out with a bag of frozen corn from the crawfish boil weeks before that for me to grill.

All in all, everything turned out really great.  The ribs were full of flavor and moist and had that bite to the ribs that I was wanting.  The shrimps were nice and plumb.  Another successful night at the folks!
