Just wanted to fling a cravin' on all of y'all by letting you know that I am gonna meet up with a family member from the NC coast tomorrow and he is bringing me 25 pounds of shrimp fresh from the Atlantic. I normally am a share and share alike kinda guy, but y'all ain't getting none of my shrimp.
Aw heck. Go ahead and share a good recipe with me though. Most times we fry them or grill them. But, I am always open to new ideas. New ideas for the shrimp I ain't sharin' that is.

Shrimp and Grits
1 1/2 cups regular grits, uncooked; 6 cups water; 1 stick unsalted butter; Bring water and salt to a roiling boil. Add butter, and when melted, slowly stir in the grits, then reduce heat and simmer slowly, 40-45 minutes. While grits are cooking, in a large cast iron or other heavy skillet, fry 4 strips of bacon. Lay bacon on paper towels to drain. You want about 3 tablespoons of the drippin's. You will need:
1/2 to 3/4 lb. peeled, raw shrimp, coarsely chopped.
4 tablespoons minced onion.
1 cup water.
2 tablespoons flour.
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
2 tablespoons ketchup.
Salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the onion to the hot drippin's and cook until tender. Add the shrimp and cook 3 minutes stirring several times. Add the water and simmer for 3 more minutes. Stir in the flour, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt and pepper. Simmer slowly until the sauce thickens. When the grits are done, stir into the shrimp mixture and simmer a couple more minutes to blend flavors. Stir in crumbled bacon. Serve with some scramboiled hen eggs on the side and some buttermilk cathead biscuits and mayhaw jelly.
Don't fergit the coffee, Billy Joe. |

Arnie Gallott of Gallot's Seafood on the gulf coast gave me his old family recipie 35 years ago for Cajun boiled shrimp that is the best shrimp recipie I have ever seen. Now since it is a traditional and secret recipie, I won't give it away...but if you want me to show up and cook it for you, we can make a deal....for all I can eat myself. You provide the shrimp, the beer, and everything else. I guarantee you will enjoy it plus you don't have to cook it.

How close are you to Hernando?
It just amazes me that y'all are being so stingy though.

Well like an old man told me one time. If you are cooking for yourself and a couple of others its ok to grill or shishkabob because you have to peel them first. But if you are cooking for a crowd or say 10+ pounds its better to boil them so they can peel their own.
When you wake up in the morning, tommorrow will be Sunday!!!! |

25 pounds is not that much to dehead. I used to drive to the coast with three styrofoam floral "caskets" that flowers are shipped in and purchase a complete boat run of shrimp, usually around 300 pounds. Then drive 6 hours back home, dehead them, and freeze them all. My wife helped but it still took half the night. That was in the old days when shrimpers were still using the small craft harbors and sold directly to people right off the boats.
Hope you enjoy the shimp. You should considere sharing....I always had lots of friends show up when I had plenty of shrimp cooking. LOL.
