Shrimp Recipe

Seafood

Ingredients: Shrimp Old Bay Seasonings Tony's Seasoning (optional) Everglade Seasoning (if available, not necessary) Directions: Peel & devein shrimp, rinse & drain excess water (either place on paper towel or in a colander for a few minutes). Place shrimp in a gallon size zip-lock plastic bag. Sprinkle very liberally with Old Bay Seasoning; if also using Tony's, add sparingly, it's very salty. (If you're able to get Everglades seasoning, use that instead of Tony's). If you like them real spicy, add a few shakes of ground cayenne pepper. If you season the shrimp before you peel and cook them, all the seasoning ends up on your fingers-not the shrimp. Cooking method is up to you. Either grill, saute in butter, steam or drop in a deep fryer (350 degrees- stirring constantly- takes about 2 minutes) or even in a frying pan with 1/4- 1/2 inch of oil. If you wish to coat with corn meal/flour mixture before deep frying that's fine too. ***Do not over cook. Shrimp don't take long at all, usually by the time one side turns pink & you turn them over the first ones are ready to eat! Since I can usually buy shrimp right off the boat, I've found it much easier to clean, peel & season as soon as purchased. Then I can freeze in smaller packages & defrost in the bag, under water if I need them in a hurry for unexpected company.
