“I could go for a few boiled up right now!”


Never, ever, EVER boil a shrimp. Peel ‘em, toss ‘em with a little fresh lime juice and “Old Bay”, lay ‘em out in a single layer on a rectangular cooking sheet (with sides) and broil ‘em 3” from the top oven element (broiler temp set to high) for 3 minutes, 3 minutes only. Best you’ll ever eat.

Boiling just washes/leaches away the flavor that is poured down the drain.

Personally - I really like them grilled! Pecan or Cherry wood are my favorite fuel woods for shrimp (and indeed -most seafood).

Okay, what’s “Old Bay” and is that 3 minutes per side or will they cook through?

Truthfully, I haven’t eaten anything but wild-caught shrimp since I learned they are raised in septic tanks and imported from China.

Thanks

Wrong! Jumbo shrimp, leave the heads on, wrap in bacon, toss on grill on high heat, 3 min each side. Now there is the best shrimp you will ever eat. :-)
