Question for the D, I bought some really good shrimp from Kroger, I just thaw them out and eat them. My question is what other way can I fix them? Can I grill them?

Yes Sir,
A real slight grilling makes some good "shrimp's" (In my Best Bubba voice of Bubba Gump Shrimp.), you can also while grilling add a touch of butter. Doubt you need salt unless you are like my daughters who salt their salt.

Fortunately I do not eat frozen shrimp because they sleep in the Gulf the night before I eat them. But there must be a million ways to fix shrimp. Ole Bubba could testify to that. You will get a much better flavor if you use raw shrimp. If it is available.
We have shrimp very often and my favorite way to make it is Shrimp Creole . It is easy and looks something like this. Serve it over white rice.
Martha Stewart has 40 shrimps recipes on the link below. All are very good. It is hard to mess up good shrimp.

I "likes" me some shrimp!!!
And Shrimp sandwich, I like shrimp sandwich!
And who can pass up a Shrimp Po Boy or two or three. Not this boyI "likes" me some shrimp!!!

We do a 'low country' shrimp boil every Summer. Will probably have one in 3 or 4 weeks when my step-daughter and her 2 rug rats are here for a month (lucky me). Something I think the kids would like.....
Get out the outside/propane turkey fryer. Fill with water, season with shrimp boil seasoning and lemons, throw in some potatoes, some corn, some sausage, and shrimp (don't think I forgot anything). Put newspapers over the outside patio tables, lift basket to strain the water, and dump it out. Then dig in.

Man, I haven't had Shrimp Po Boys for a long time. Too long. I've got a good Paula Dean recipe for them...but really you don't need a recipe.And who can pass up a Shrimp Po Boy or two or three. Not this boy
Brought back a memory Sir; when my Darling and I came back from Korea and landed (To work) in South Carolina in Charleston, the subdivision we decided to build in invited us to an oyster cookout. They had three or four of the propane burners you described all full of oysters. They laid them out on tables with other fixings. I usually like my oysters fried but these I ate out of the shell with the other garnish. My Darling was in heaven on earth that evening. We were talking to prospective neighbors and just had a grand ole time with total strangers. A memorable event to state the least. That started our love for South Carolina as to date those are the most friendly people I have ever met on a continuing basis. Just nice, nice people.
Heck I was walking into a Little Caesars pizza joint and had to walk in between a group of thugs and even they called me Sir. Just a nice place...(I DO hope it has stayed that way. Our tenants are real decent people for sure.) The guy is in HVAC business and had to fix our A/C. Just charged me $61.00 for the part it needed. (We have been good to them too.)
You know, for some strange reason (THE D) I knew this was going to show up!!!!!!I "likes" me some shrimp!!!
And Shrimp sandwich, I like shrimp sandwich!
Sir, I hope I "ain't" becoming predictable (Made me sad.).... heaven forbid.... I have to change my operations plan.... 😁
I thought it was funny!!!!
Is there a difference in Creole and Gumbo?Fortunately I do not eat frozen shrimp because they sleep in the Gulf the night before I eat them. But there must be a million ways to fix shrimp. Ole Bubba could testify to that. You will get a much better flavor if you use raw shrimp. If it is available.

Shrimp scampi. I am now fixing it.
Butter (3 tablespoons), extra olive oil (3 tablespoons), five or six cloves of garlic minced or all you want, a lot of black pepper, a couple teaspoons of salt. Cook this in a large skillet for a few minutes at a robust heat; until you want to eat anything that smells as good as garlic.
Pour in .75 cup of dry white wine, the juice of one large lemon, and red pepper if you like it. Cook the wine and lemon juice down to 1/2 it original size. Add 2 or 2 1/2 pounds of cooked shrimp with tails on, or off if you so choose. Warm up the shrimp, or if the shriimp is not cooked cook put them in as you cook down the wine and lemon juice, until the shrimp turns pink. Sprinkle parsley all over it, if you like parsley.
It is done. Quick easy and wonderful.
Serve over pasta, bread or rice; that is all up to you. I prefer rice my wife like pasta. We both like it over bread.
Shrimp scampi is good stuff. I just hope that I did not leave out some good stuff because I am typing this off my memory; however, that is usually the way I cook.
Very few things are better than shrimp scampi. It is so simple that you can't understand why it is so easy to fix.
Shrimp scampi is like women; God perfected a few things, and those two were perfected. 😁
God Bless you Sir, laughter is like a medicine. (That is biblical) May the issues you've encountered be controlled by our loving God in his way.
Creole are a group of people and gumbo is a food/thick soup.
Both are wonderful.
I love foods from the gulf. Cajuns were dumped into the swamps and were supposed to die. Instead they invented some of the best food known to man.
The creole are the dark skinned folks in the New Orleans area that are mixed negro and every thing else. They are wonderful folks.
We cover it all on the D cord.
Yes, a lot of difference. A true gumbo has okra. We always use a minimum of two cups of chopped okra. A true gumbo also has a deep colored roux as a base. I try to get a copper color. Added to the mixture is bacon or at least bacon drippings and smoked sausage. And like shrimp creole you add white rice. Same with etouffee
The flavor in gumbo comes from it's deep rich dark roux. Now I am hungry cord
I mentioned this earlier with a slight mistake. It was expected to bring 1.6 mil instead of brought.

Iceland?Good morning D-League. It's currently 72° and overcast. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 82°.
Everyone safe on this Friday.
I was taught to be neither cheap or stingy........I was taught that you leaned to live on less than you was making.....living within our means as we call it.......working in non union construction teaches you to think about tomorrow or next week.......I was fortunate to never have drawn unemployment my whole career as a carpenter..........I saw everyone but myself laid off several times......they always found something to keep me busy in the shop.......a few times I would have liked a week or two off....
awf, when I was working at Dyno Nobel I made good money, put back 24% of my check into my 401K(when ever we got a raise I upped my % wish i could have gotten more than 10 years) I left with a good 401k. What amazed me was there was so many that worked there that just lived from pay-check-pay check!!!!! One of the guys there was a top mechanic making close to $30 an hour with all the overtime , he had filed bankruptcy twice and again after I left, NEVER could convince him to save!!!!! GOD sure did bless me there!!! Left in one piece!!!!
So......Camp Paw is officially over for 2021.....it is hard having people around all of the time......everyone got shopping trips with Gran for clothes.......the oldest got a laptop to start school at EKU.......signed up for the criminal justice program....we tried the whole gang at one time (10)
...........that only happened once.......now we break them up into groups....we pull all the stops out when they come......it is still much cheaper than flying to England once a year........at the end of camp I am wore out..........and lighter in the wallet........I told the Director that this way we can see them enjoy our money.....other wise they'll get it when we die.......

Don't do shrimp. I guess it has never been prepared right for me. I will eat the breaded and baked or deep fried kind and that is about it. Never did shrimp off the Barbie, Creole, scampie, cocktail, or any other than what I post above.
Cord the first twenty years my wife was a respiratory therapist she put the limit into the 401K + the 5K make up.......it has done very well......we always saved for the "rainy day"........we still do.......it is a habit that is hard to break.......hell......I have friends my age that don't even have life insurance........but the always have the latest phone and a new vehicle every two years........we have been financially liquid for about twenty yrs now.......but we still stretch our money out......a couple of yrs back the Director got a substransial raise...($11.50 an hour)....we save the whole raise.......a couple of the people that she works with bought new cars or moved........we have save our's for what if..........there is no shame to live a low keyed life style.......I have a friend that makes several hundred thousand dollars a year from his businesses.......he has a debit card and nothing else.......no savings....nothing........he is a great guy and very intelligent........and very successful........but I feel sorry for him.......
I don't consider myself wealthy, but I don't owe anyone a single penny. I own my home, the building my business is in, my vehicles, a little land, and some savings. I've never been one to make payments. My tastes are simple, and if I can't pay for it outright, then I don't want it.

We are the same way awf, Mrs. M is getting ready to call it quits(when they ask her when she is going to retire, she says in less than 52 weeks) I am the only one who knows!
She is very conservative (Berg slang for cheap), but we are ok, we don't need, but we buy what we want. She has gone over everything and says we are going to be ok, I trust her with that! I am looking forward to her quitting. Her only problem is she has no hobbies, I am hoping to get her to help me with my stained glass. I wish I could send my D friends a Christmas ornament.
I'm with you on the shrimp scampi Bert. For a fast food restaurant, Long John Silver's has pretty good scampi.
Wow! So are we. The Mrs about an hour ago asked if I wanted it for dinner tonight. That was a big 'yes'.
Used to travel to New Orleans twice a month. People in the office knew all the good local restaurants to go to....and the 'tourist traps' that were good (some aren't). Absolutely loved the food. Best city I think for eating.
All this talk of shrimp reminds me of when I was a kid of 21 in the late 1970s, living in Pompano Beach, Fla.
There was a pier that stretched out a ways, and twice a year as I recall (not clear on that part), the shrimp would run up the coast, and come in at night close enough that you could go out, hang a lantern on a rope just above the water, and scoop them with a long pole with a net on the end.
Anyone else ever do that? The young woman I was living with in those days was a native of South Florida and her brother had the gear and we'd get enough to boil them up and have them with a sauce she made.

My Dad was like that. He made very good money, but his whole career he did that...get a raise and he would save it. Philosophy of we lived OK before it....so we don't need it now.
He also dealt in mostly cash. Of course back in his time very, very few people had credit cards. Some had 'store cards' but even when credit cards became more popular, 60s, 70s, he may have had one and that's it. And no balance.
We had quite a lot (material things)...but no debt.
Same here. Don't owe a penny to anyone or anything. Great feeling.
I'm watching some recordings of the History Channel's Mountain Men. I love this series.
Im just the opposite...I'll eat shrimp just about anyway it can be prepared.
I have a very serious question for you, if we are making movies about aliens, are they out there somewhere making movies about us? Asking for a friend!!!!!
Yeah...it's a comedy series...

Yeah, they are like the Nat Geo documentaries humans make about the monkey colonies on Borneo...
