The next time you eat the last pickle in the jar, save the juice and throw a couple dozen shrimp in it. You don't even have to cook em.

Let them sit for 2-3 days and enjoy.

>>11168041
Oh, shit. I am absolutely going to try this. If I get sick, I will send you the bill for my dangerous gullibility.

>>11168040
Please be more respectful when you're talking about shrimpies.

>>11168058
The acidity "cooks" them (Ceviche) and the combination of salt kills any bacteria.

>>11168065
Thanks for the info. I am very interested in this. I've enjoyed every pickled food I've tried, except for eggs. I wanted to like them; it was a pretty disappointing experience.

I suppose I will have to give them another try.

>>11168106
Pickled eggs are definitely hit or miss for me. I've found I prefer a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and cider vinegar, a tsp of black peppercorns and 1 tbsp of salt per quart. They call them pub eggs around here.

This guy is a little hard to watch but his pickled shrimp recipe is pretty good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNQxJFQ2Rq0

>>11168120
Yeah, I might have to end up making them myself. For all I know, I bought the worst pickled eggs available.

>>11168120
Man, you weren't bullshitting about that guy. Takes a recipe suitable for a .gif and turns into a thirteen-minute video. Jeez.

>Don't forget that the shrimp has to be raw.

There's an Italian restaurant in my neck of the woods that puts mushrooms in their shrimp scampi. I had never seen anyone do that before, but it is delicious.

What's the consensus on leaving the tails on? Classy or annoying?

I say it's annoying. I want my meal fully prepared when it is served to me, thanks very much. I once got mussels on my pasta and they brought me a separate vessel in which to store the discarded shells. One time, I got an entire fish. I do not care for that sort of thing. Might as well seat my party in the kitchen.

What uses are there for the mudvayne, can you use it for crab cakes

>>11168260
Why would you want to? Isn't that where turds are stored?

>>11168266
Waste not what ought to be wasted

>>11168035
When i was little, my dad took me on a drive through the city and the neighborhood he grew up in. We stopped somewhere and he bought fried shrimps. We sat on one of those concrete parking stops in the parking lot drinking sodas and i'll never forget when he let me have one of his shrimps.
It was the only time i can remember that i felt my dad was really cool.

>>11168268
I do not understand this.

>>11168274
It sucks that your dad wasn't cool, but at least your one good memory of him is centered around shrimpies. I mean, of course it is - shrimpies make the world a better place.

Did you fellas enjoy your tasty creatures with lemon and/or tartar sauce?

>>11168063
I wasn't talking about shrimp

>>11168277
Just because something should be thrown out doesn’t mean you have to, if you want to eat shrimp shit then give the man a recipe

>>11168343
Okay.

>1 lb. shrimp shit

Serve and enjoy!

>>11168358
Absolute state of /ck/ chefs

>>11168386
Hey, pal. I'm really trying here.

Bumpin' shrimpies.

>>11168035
I boiled some with louisiana crab/crawfish boil powder and a little liquid concentrate, a whole quartered onion, two stalks of celery, a lemon squeezed and dropped in.
everyone got 4 potatoes, 2 half ears of corn and some good homemade cocktail sauce and remoulade.

>>11170571
literally just sat down from dinner and i cant move.

yeah it just sucks that not a lot of places know how to prepare them properly for a dish or make an appropriate amount of shrimps to eat as the main course.
I want my dinner to be shrimps not a fucking little bit appetizer. given me like 5 shrimps like I can't handle my shrimp ill tell you when i've had enough

>>11170533
Is...he only eating the tails?

>>11170637
I like to have a variety of shrimps all at once, mix and match

>not calling them skrimps

>>11168035
im here with you OP. my mom used to bring home those ring things full of shrimp the local shop rite and i'd eat the whole thing like a bag of doritoes

>>11170637
>>11170646
>>11168274
It's SHRIMP, not SHRIMPS you morons. You eat SHRIMP not SHRIMPS.

>>11170643
The Jokester is a wild man.

>>11170637
That's a good metric for restaurant quality. Give me my shrimpies.

>>11171286
Fuck yeah, dude. I hate when they're frozen and not just cold. It's like, these are meant to be eaten. They aren't ammunition for an ancient sling. I'm not out here slaying Biblical monsters. Just give me my shrimpies as soon as possible.

>>11171415
>It's SHRIMPIES, not SHRIMP, you moron. You eat SHRIMPIES, not SHRIMP, you idiot.

>>11170646
Looks like a tasty plate of shrimpies. I've saved the image. Very inspiring and beautiful stuff, anon. Thanks.

>desperately trying to force a meme
Hey, I'm game. Shrimpies shrimpies shrimpies!

>>11171746
I'm having a good time.

>>11171623
Yes. Like that. Parsley and all. Old bay dusted across them so when you peel them it sticks to your fingers then the skrimps.
I didn't want to use any andouille, but i do have some i'm saving for red beans and rice.

>>11171771
I'm from New England but have always wanted to try a genuine Louisiana crab, crawfish, and/or shrimpies boil. I am pretty sure that I would enjoy it very much.

>>11171635
Panko fried skrimps are great, but i like em in the corn flour/corn meal with cajun seasoning just as well some times. We've gotten it down to an art form where the breading never slides off no matter what kind it is.
I made coconut skrimps the other day with real shredded coconut. Those were badass too.
Gulf pink are the best shrimp I have ever had.

>>11171781
I've known a lot of people that wont stand on either side of those regional flavors. I'm kinda one of em too. Only where shrimp and crab are concerned. Obviously we do not have lobster down here.
I believe you'd enjoy it just fine if you like a little spice. The people from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadians mixed with spanish, african/caribbean are where the south louisiana flavors come from.

>>11171782
>Panko fried skrimps are great, but i like em in the corn flour/corn meal

I agree. Beer batter is the best, for me.

>>11171813
I do not like making batters except for onion rings.
Though, I might try some time soon to develop a recipe or find one I can customize. It would be at least one less vessel to clean afterward anyway.

>>11171781
A recipe I make occasionally just occurred to me that would be easy for you to try out.
Serve it with a nice fresh crusty French garlic bread or you could put em over a bed of grits for a regional treat too. Couple of slices of andouille or other similar sausage and it's a very filling authentic New Orleans meal.
Super easy.

>>11171771
Why not peel the shrimpies first? Is there a practical reason or is that just "how it's done"?

>>11171836
I am definitely going to give this a shot. Thanks very much, anon.

>>11172582
Honestly, I don't leave the heads on unless I get them fresh from the gulf. There's a soaking period that gives it time to soak in and flavor the meat properly. I didn't read the recipe before I posted it and I didn't feel like typing mine out because I'd have to think about the steps in a proper order... I do it off my noodle heh.
If store bought, use the tail-on de-veined and let em soak briefly while the sauce is still nice and warm and you're getting bowls/plates ready or what ever.
>>11172585
Absolutely welcome. I hope I catch a post if you decide to.
>>11168035
ty for skrimp thread, OP.

>>11172582
Oh! shit. I see different post you replied to.
They're usually alive while they're on the boat until they get flash frozen. They purge pretty well during the trip back to shore and there's no reason to devein

>>11172608
>>11172609
It's been an honor and a privilege.

>>11168035
If you like to eat the insects of the ocean you yourself are an insect.

>>11172658
Get the fuck out of my thread, blasphemer.

You crazy and insane assholes thought I would let a thread about SHRIMPIES just die like a roadside whore filled with disease?

>Never.

>>11171415
no I usually eat more than one. hence "shrimpS"

SHRIMPIES FOREVER!!!

>>11168035
-black tiger shrimp
-olive oil
-sriracha sauce
-grainulated garlic
-ginger
-paprika

So basic yet so good.

>>11173876

>>11168120
His recipe looks really good. One question though, should I cook the shrimp first?

im alergic fuck you op

>>11168035
Buy them de-veined but shell on as it's usually cheaper. Cook with shell on for better taste, though taking it off is a mess when eating. Shell on or shell off, I enjoy pan frying them. The smell of pan fried shrimp is amazing.

There's about 4 pounds of shrimp in that 10 pound tray thing , along with the obvious.

I'm a generally healthy guy but when i make this i tend to eat the whole thing in the course of 15 hours. I can't help myself so yeah i think i like shrimp

How the FUCK do you cook shrimp? I always overcook them when boiling them, is it easier to grill?

>>11175713
I'm from maryland so we always steamed them with old bay but grill, broil, boil, w/e

Cook them till they turn pink and the shell (which you have hopefully deveined or got deveined) spreads open

Flesh should be firm but not rubbery

>>11168035
to me shrimp is my go to sea bug. Crab and Lobster have a weird taste to my palate and shrimp in comparison is a lot more subtle. I wish I could enjoy and ive tried it multiple times but just not for me. Shrimp is King!

>>11175662
What do you mean de-veined, the poop string on the back? I made a stew with small shrimp with the poo still in them, it was $30 in the trash and almost ruined shrimp for me had I not gone to a Chinese buffet and ate properly cooked shrimp to remind myself it tastes good.

>>11175713
cured is my favorite. In lime juice and jalapeno vinigger

>>11175739
its exactly what he means, tell me how the stew was ruined tho like how bad was the taste?

>>11175739
Yeah, "de-vein" is a massive misnomer that we're unfortunately stuck with. What's really done is removal of the digestive tract.

>>11175770
>>11175767
>>11175739
I've never had a problem with the vein thingy.

must mean i'm a more devout lover of shrimp than everyone. i can't wait for the shrimp gods to take me away.

>>11175767
It was a combination of a weird sour taste brought on by something other than the shrimp, the shrimp was rubbery and I kept thinking about how the "veins" were still on them. Live and learn I guess.

>>11175785
It's mostly a psychological thing though depending what the shrimp were eating can be unhealthy, add a sour taste, and definitely adds grit. Overall unpleasant.

>>11170643
MOMS GONNA FREAK

Any travel fags here?
any one remember where they had the best shrimp.

easily mine was mexican coastal cities or cajun areas like new orleans.

Man i sure do love shrimps

>>11168035
they are very flexible and can be used in alot of dishes, they are also good pets when alive

>>11174795
I want to try this.
gonna use garlic chili paste instead of sriracha.
