Smoked Shrimp

[fuelman1]

LMK when there's another group buy if that's ok to ask? I'd love to get in on that!

I'll keep you in mind. The season should open down here first week of June. With diesel prices what they are I'm afraid what it's going to do to shrimp prices.

The same as it's done to everything else I'm afraid. Prices are out of control...thanks Joe Briben.

Thanks man!

You know I had this discussion the other day. All meat prices have gone way up, but you can get shrimp for $5-$7/lb all day long and it's been that way for a few years. Hasn't changed. I haven't gaged fish prices bc I don't eat fish lol. But they look steady also?

I've been buying more seafood for that very reason.

I might have to learn to like it lol. Probably wouldn't hurt my health either

I'm glad prices have been steady but isn't it odd?

Prices keep going up I'm going to have to start fishing for food not sport.
I'm usually catch and release but we about to start catch and deep fry.

As long as you don’t don’t buy those nasty, tasteless farmed shrimp!

I made these a couple nights ago and they were so freaking good, I made a double batch the next night again...

So this is a small cast iron pan. I used a pound of shrimp and I made a double layer in the pan. I tossed the shrimp in olive oil and this seasoning that I had combined with Old Bay Garlic flavor. The seasoning I picked up somewhere off the highway in Hilton Head so I'll have to pick up some more whenever I go back.

I think they were in 250° for about 20 minutes or so if I remember right. Cast iron went in cold, I didn't preheat it.

The 2nd night I made a double batch--2lbs of shrimp and double layered them again in a bigger cast iron pan. I don't have finished pics bc I forgot lol. Same temp but the cooking time increased to probably 35 minutes or longer. I didn't keep track but I remember checking them a few times and they weren't done yet.

As a side note, I smoked a dry aged ribeye with olive oil, thyme, sage and rosemary...I completely overshot the mark (I like my steaks medium) but it was still pretty amazing. But the shrimp, OMG the shrimp...

I made a small batch today....I screwed up...I should have made a huge batch.
So damn good. Matched it with crabcakes and cajun fries. I think this is my new favorite way to make shrimps.
Thanks for the suggestion.
