Shrimp Ideas

Banker John

One of my clients owns a small fleet of shrimp boats here in Crystal River. Talking yesterday, he said he would set aside a five gallon bucket of shrimp for me.[p]How do you prepare shrimp?[p]Banker John[p]p.s. my favorite is Shrimp coated with Dizzy Pig 'Ragin River Rub', but sadly, I am out.

Banker John,
That is a good client to have. This is from memory, but mix 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy, a few cloves garlic crushed, and a bunch of grated fresh ginger and pour over the scewered shimps and marinade for an hour or so. Grill em up hot and fast and enjoy. Oh yeah, some fresh black pepper, and maybe a little fresh orange juice wouldn't hurt either.
Hope this helps.

Banker John,
keep it simple. Place shrimp in a shallow pan, coat with lots of butter, crushed garlic, little salt, and lots of fresh cracked black pepper. Cook at 450 degrees until done. Use crusty french bread as a dipper, and of course a nice white wine. For dessert you can watch Forrest Gump for other ideas if you have any extra shrimp..........LOL

Banker John,
Drive east to Melbourne and we'll show you how to prepare them... not that we'd eat any <grin>[p]We did 10 pounds for a party recently. First off, head 'em if they haven't been. Then peel them and marinate a couple hours in a ginger based dressing (can you get Makoto's? Let me know and I'll bring a bottle to Ocala.) You want the dome temp stable at 400 to 450. Put the shrimp on in a single layer. (We used a Wal-Mart "grill topper".) After 2 minutes flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.[p]These are as popular right off the grill as they are chilled - 10 pounds vanished before anything else on the buffet.[p]Ken

Banker John,
sounds like FL laws are more lax than in GA. We used to be able to buy freshly caught shrimp right off the boats on Jekyll Island. Then laws were passed and strictly enforced to prevent that practice. Yup, I agree with the others - that is a good customer - heck, maybe you can trade him a pork butt or ribs - or if he's really a handy type maybe he can install a new gasket for you! LOL

BlueSmoke,
I plan on bringing the 'catch' for the eggfest. Will probably cook them at the after party on Friday evening. I would like it if you & Diane would help eat them... of course, you may need to help with the preparation & seasoning.[p]Banker John

Banker John

RRP,
Yes, he is a good client. But I do not cross any laws by buying right off the boat. These are 'complimentary' with a small tip for the boat captain for hand selecting them from his nights catch.[p]If the weather is good and the catch is decent, I should have them the morning of the meet & greet for the Eggfest. Can you see the light in the sky calling? I wish you could get out of the cold north and visit us workin' folk in Florida.[p]Banker John
