I was at the coast a couple of weeks ago and picked up 3 lbs. of shrimp for dinner. I went to Mom's at the docks in Rockport. She usually has bigguns.
She'll slip in a few smaller ones in her "6-10" ct, but the quality is usually fresh, and she's open on Sunday when I am heading home.
First...coconut shrimp, Rachael Ray's recipe. My daughter liked these since they weren't as sweet as most coconut shrimp recipes. It needed something, so I made Emeril's tequila lime sauce.
Tequila Lime Sauce.
Ridiculously easy, and outstanding. I think it would go great on grilled chicken breasts or fish tacos.
I used the bigguns for the next entree. The smaller ones, remove heads, devein, etc. Leave the tail on.
The smell was incredible. I love shallots. And tequila.
Rachael Ray's Coconut Shrimp
The egg white batter and bread crumbs..I substituted panko, it works much better.
Cut up some limes, and have a shot. Or 2.
Hic... Good stuff. Just don't slip up with the chef's knife.
I made a **** load in the wok, deep fry in Canola oil.
Voila.
Next..Paul Prudhomme's Cajun BBQ shrimp. Do NOT wear a white shirt while preparing or eating this dish.
Spice mix, garlic, and a **** load of butter.
More intense smells. My daughter kept coming into the kitchen to see what smelled so good.
I crowded the shrimp a bit, it's better to leave room so they cook evenly.
Let's eat.
Go a little heavier with the sauce.
Serve with crusty French bread to soak it up.
Both of these were very easy to make, but the key is, as always.. fresh ingredients. And booze.
