This was disgusting, no good at all......

[NCHillbilly]

A pound and a half of 10-15 count colossal wild Carolina shrimp. These things were huge, looked like lil' lobsters:



Peeled, deveined, butterflied, and taking a nap in some lemon juice and Crystal hot sauce:



Ran them through some seasoned flour, egg wash, and a mixture of coconut flakes and Panko, then off to rest in the fridge for 20 minutes:



Into the pool at 325*:



Everybody out of the pool:



Made up some dipping sauce: orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, lime juice, Crystal hot sauce, and cracked black pepper:



YHFP stirred up some hushpuppy batter with plenty of onions and jalapenos and took them for a swim:



It weren't no good. We spit it all out. The dog wouldn't even eat it:

I woulda been happy to take that bunch of goodness off your hands. Tell me about that dipping sauce.

It's really, really good with the shrimp, and easy to make. I stole the idea from Bubba Gump's years ago and kind of adapted it to how we like it.

Just put some orange marmalade in a bowl, add some Dijon until it's balanced like honey-mustard sauce. Squeeze about half a lime into it, add hot sauce to taste, and grind some pepper into it. Good stuff.

My gosh! I was about ready to print those and eat the paper. But I can't do coconut, though.

Looks great.

 

[PopPop]

Some folks will eat anything.

I'm glad you took some pictures before you threw it out.

My wife does not approve!
She says everything on the plate is brown and you should have color contrast for presentation.

I married a stupid woman!

 

[Dirtroad Johnson]

Man that looks good.

 

[ambush80]

Holy Cow!!!

I can hear the crunching in my head. It's making me insane. That plate is a shrine to all things brown and crispy and delicious.

Excellent.

There should be a law against Food Porn on GON. If you are ever in downtown Darien, the best restaurant shrimp in the world, fried of course, is at B&J's Steaks and Seafood. Can't say much about the ambiance of the place, but the shrimp is mighty fine. They have access to Georgia Wild Shrimp year round from local shrimpers and the count is about 20/lb. and are fried to perfection. Gil
