Shrimp

I have a bunch of shrimp here, frozen. Couple ideas i have-

1. Kataifi shrimp. Kataifi is shredded phyllo dough, kinda looks like noodles. Coating is made with the kataifi and some bread crumbs and fried. Served with honey, delicious.
2. Honey Walnut shrimp. A chinese recipe, shrimp is battered and fried and then tossed with a creamy sauce and walnuts. I've only had it once but i really liked it.

Not sure which road to take. I have the kataifi already, maybe i'll prep the walnuts and make both hahaha

Both sound interesting… Me? I love shrimp, but every time I try to do something “special”, I’m disappointed. Fried, pan seared, grilled, etc., are almost always more satisfying, at least in my experience…

For me it's the opposite, even just shrimp cocktail can be very good.

Now i'm thinking shrimp toast

Shrimp cocktail is the bee's knees.

My favorite shrimp are medium sized grilled with nothing but Old Bay and in this case a little (precooked) bacon and veggies.

Shrimps are the chicken of the sea. According to my best friend Bubba, you can bake them, broil them, sauté them, fry them…….

I haven't done anything shrimp related yet. Dr. Said my wife needs more iron so we've been eating steaks and lamb chops lmao.

I'm reviving this thread, experimented with a spiced salt today. Something i've been thinking of for a while now.
Chinese style salt and pepper shrimp always has that flavor. It's 5 spice powder and other things but 5 spice powder is strong so gotta be careful. Too much and it's ruined. Added the spiced salt to the cornstarch dredge, then hit it with more of the same salt right out of the oil.
I tried it with some chix wings which unfortunately were mostly drummies. 15 pieces and only (4) flats is kinda bullshit. Wish it went the other way.
But it came out great! Crispy as hell, nice bite and still juicy.

So now i'm going to use it on some shrimp!

Wife and i got food poisoning, haven't been able to eat or hold down food for 2 days.
The thought of fried shrimp is making my stomach turn, i'll revisit this once our appetites return lol.

Yikes!

You sure paid the price bro'.

 

[Robostyle]

Yeah, it sucked. Big time.
Getting back to normal now
