Dang Good!
That is a work of ART!
Geez they look good.
Bought some more stuff for future testing but will have to wait till next week.
Those look killer. Please pass the plate.
Very Nice job!!!
Those look Great Mark. How did you like the Shrimp cut into the smaller pieces instead of the chunks I had in mine? I guess what I am asking is could you tell difference between the pork and the shrimp when biting into the sausage?
Hey Chris, you definitely can taste the shrimp...
I did chop them into estimated 1/4 x 1/4 pcs.
Well done Mark....I haven't made sausage for awhile, I may have to give this a shot...that money shot picture looks awesome...
Man that looks good. Shrimp is one of my weaknesses.
Now that's the way they should look! Great post, wished mine and Dee's looked like those :'(
Nice job Mark. Boy, they look good!
Daaaaamn,,,,,,,,,,that there money shot looks awesome!
I so gotta try these some day.
What we didn't eat I vac sealed and place in the freezer.
