Salmon and shrimp on the BGE'S.

SGH

Having to keep it simple due to working long hours. However this is usually pretty good. Skewered a few shrimp after a 4 hour marinade. Then heavily dusted them with Old Bay and cayenne. The salmon got the same treatment just not as heavy. The shrimp are going on the mini at 700 degrees for 90 seconds a side. The salmon is going on the large at 325 for 18 minutes, give or take a little. I haven't got to egg in so long i hope I can remember how!!

Shrimp for an appetizer and salmon for second appetizer.

I want to chat with you at Salado about the split on the cooking grid, really curious about that.

It looks like you've still got it - although I'm a little disappointed in the portions.  It probably wouldn't have surprised any of us if you added "Since the fire was hot, I threw on 20 pounds of tuna for a quick sear and ate that while the salmon was cooking"

@SGH that looks really good . . . after seeing this post I am going to egg some shrimp tonight!  

What is in your marinade?

Also, whats the best way to thaw frozen shrimp?

@NDG‌ we thaw shrimp in a colander under cold water. Only takes a few minutes.

K thanks, my wife is away tonight, so a giant bowl of spicy spicy shrimp sounds about right. I am going to dip in @Griffin awesome Horseradish & Tarragon Tartar sauce . . . link below, stuff is so good!

I marinade shrimp in whole milk my friend. I like to go at least 4 hours in the milk but prefer 8 if time allows. The milk works magic on shrimp. What milk does to catfish fillets should be illegal!!

Clean, clear and cold water my friend.

Please bare in mind that I ate a Wendys double cheeseburger on the ride home. Also had beans and sweet potatoes with the fish and shrimp. Im so pressed for time working these long hours that im slipping bad on my posts. However I will be back in full swing in a couple of weeks my friend.

@SGH i dont have much milk left . . . BUT i have a whole bunch of Buttermilk.

Think buttermilk would be a good shrimp marinade ?

Looks great!

Brother I have only used buttermilk on chicken. I have always used whole milk on shrimp and catfish so I really do not know my friend.

That looks super good!

Why the milk marinade?  I've heard of it for some seafood that can be gamey...soft shell crab people like to do that.   Shrimp (if they're good) have a good flavor as is.  Just curious.  I don't doubt the results!

I'm sure it all came out great.  Thanks for the pics.

Hey, what is the log for in the salmon pictures?  It's just sitting there taunting us to ask!

Brother the milk does help with taming any gamey taste in meat. However the taste it imparts on shrimp is a smooth almost creamy taste if you will. I have been using the milk on shrimp and fish for as long as I can remember. It just works and works well my friend. 

Griffin

Looks like a great meal.

 

Glad you like that sauce @NDG Now I want to make some, but we had shrimp last night in a stir fry.

Thanks Grif. It was pretty good to be done in a rush. These long hours are really getting into my cooking time!! Thanks for the kind words my friend.

I'm going to use your shrimp method, first time egging shrimp tonight.  That salmon, is one of them wild caught and the other farm raised?  Just curious.

It is two different kinds of salmon. One was sockeye and the other was coho. They claim to be caught wild, but I can not say for sure if they were or not. I purchased them from Quality Seafood in Biloxi if I remember correctly. Good luck with the shrimp. I will be standing by to see them.
