<p />After a giant killer python tried to attack me yesterday. I thought a nice filet was in order.
Ended up getting a nice filet and shrimp. I have marinating shrimp in Italian dressing, honey and cayenne pepper. Any other ideas out there?[p]Mike

  • Car Wash Mike,
    since those shrimp are already marinating, not much else to do with them but skewer em, grill em and eat em. . .what i like to do with them is brush em with a little olive oil, a good shake of old bay and tsunami spin, then skewer em and grill em at around 425 for a couple of minutes per side. . .yummy. . .make up some of my own cocktail sauce (ketchup and horseradish to taste). ..[p]btw, is that our favorite italian meat wrapped around that steak?? looks good

    Car Wash Mike,[p]I am a little late, so maybe next time you can try this.....sure cajun recipe.[p]Dip....do not marinate.....in Zatirane's liquid crab boil. Dwell time is not very long.[p]That is enough seasoning for now.....nothing else.[p]Now here is where I change the way you cook. Don't skewer and grill......hot fire = dry shrimp....and you want those babies juicy like boiled shrimp. I get the fire to 300 then put the shrimp on a cookie sheet...the one with the holes works ok if you are on a raised grill.[p]I sometimes use a lite whisp of hickory and go indirect.......especially if I have some fresh shucked oysters to go with it.[p]enjoy......bigarms

    bigarms,
    To late for the liquid dipping. I have a veggie pan with holes in it. I think I will put the raised grid on after the searing of the steaks. How long? I guess until they turn pink.
    Thanks,[p]Mike

  • Car Wash Mike,[p]I just did some shrimp and andoulle sausage skewers. I marinated the shrimp in olive, garlic and DP Swamp Venon then skewered them with the sausage cut in 1/2 inch slices. I squeezed some lime juice on them before I grilled them and then served with chopped cilantro. They were very tasty.[p]BUllet

  • Car Wash Mike,[p]not long.......pink is the key. They will turn quick...try a couple at the end with a little smoke...hickory.....not bad.

    Morning Car Wash Mike:[p]I did these (about 1.5# total) directly on the lower grid level in my "holey" wok and only cooked for about 5 minutes total.[p]P3110017.jpg[p]The "red" ones had BlueSmokes Witchy Red and the others were DP Raging River or Tsunami Spin.[p]Finished product tasted great.[p]P3110019.jpg[p]Have a GREAT day!

    Have a GREAT day!

    SSN686,
    That is what I'm talking about Jay. My pan looks very similar.
    I only have 20 large shrimp. Poor Tammy doesn't like shrimp.
    Is that on a cast iron grate also?[p]Mike

    Car Wash Mike,[p]No, just the normal grate that came with the egg. Signing off for now. Heading home to pack and start driving to Waldorf for the EggFest Saturday (and a little sightseeing in DC). Wish you could make it.[p]Have a GREAT day!
