Skrimp!

In keeping with the theme of fresh, simple foods for the steamy summer time, my family was lucky enough to score some HUGE jumbo shrimp from a local fisherman- he flash freezes them on the boat-it doesn't get much better than than people since Gville isn't coastal :(

As you can see, they were not peeled or deveined, but no worries, shelling uncooked shrimp is no different from peeling cooked "boil n eat" shrimp...well, ok, so you have to pop off their heads and remove their guts. No biggie. (actually I think this is really fun, but I'm kind of a sicko, so go figure!)

No, don't peel me....I'm so cute! And yes, I was doing the dance around the kitchen singing to the shrimp skit too. Ok, that isn't a skit, I just made it up because it sounded good. I warned you I was a dork.

Seriously Jumbo:
Before peeling

After peeling:
Still massive!

Skewered up and grilled with garlic butter and some Cajun seasoning.

Served upon a bed of grits, with a few steamed crab claws and an ear of corn. Ok, so it was a night of seafood and corn, but it's summer people. Yum!

And trust me my loves, I'm going to enjoy as much gulf seafood as I can, before the entire ecosystem is totally destroyed by this on going oil spill. So, so sad.

Love to all,
