At NOWFE, Gulf Shrimp on a slice of life & carrot cornbread

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — At NOWFE, New Orleans Wine & Food Experience, now is your chance to take a bite of the Big Easy.

For New Orleans Chef Amy Mehrtens at Copper Vine, it’s the chance to show how lemons came into her life.

WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood will tell you, these lemons are not just any old lemons.

These are Meyer lemons.

Take a bite and you’ll know that Meyer lemons are sweeter, less acidic, with a piney note.

With those lemons, Chef Amy poaches Gulf Shrimp.

Then serves them on a slice of hot honey-roasted carrot cornbread served with a salad on the side and paired appropriately with a wine recommended by WSET II certified David Colomb.

He’s also NOWFE Board President.

With Bill Wood, David went on a taste test tryout in New Orleans and when the votes came in, the dish was a super success.

You can try it for yourself all at NOWFE from June 11 to June 15.

WGNO is proud to be the official television station of NOWFE.
