Shrimp Ramen

Nissin Hot & Spicy Shrimp Bowl, with a little boost from a shrimp monger; added white pepper but forgot soft boiled egg.  Noodles cooked in boiling water rather than per package instructions which results in a tastier noodle with better texture.

Texas Gumbo

George & Rubie's Texas Gumbo - a gumbo based on; charros and Tejano rice instead of roux, with smoked jalapeno sausage, diced chicken, shrimp and crawfish, plus onions, jalapenos, etc.

Made exclusively for HEB, available in the frozen foods sections.  Packaged like a casserole but it's a soup.  The company lists a Webster PO Box.

Surprisingly spicy for a supermarket frozen entree.
