Did a surf and turf tonight. Threw some beef fillets in the smoker for a different flavor and grilled the shrimp over the fire box. Bearnaise sauce over the top along with asparagus. Planned on getting some smoke on the fillets and then searing but they ended up being done sooner than planned. Still tasty!

Already been searching to see if Bezos could send me one! lol. Lid or no lid? The Le Creuset enameled cast iron looks awesome, just not sure I'd spend that much. Probably go with a carbon steel one as I'd like to use it over the grill as well as the gas stove/burner.
 
I really need to get a paella pan...
I've used a really big fry pan to good effect. I do have a real pan now. I actually found it walking the dog one night. Someone apparently bought one and then decided they didn't want it after a while. It was in a free pile and I snatched it up quick. It is big enough to use on my grill.

You are better off with a carbon steel. The thick enameled cast iron doesn't work as well for paella and risotto as I thought it would. Paella is all about the socarrat (no, I'm not fancy....I had to look it up).
