crab boil is good

I usually do a quick steam/sautee with water, vinegar and old bay ...... then finish on the grill with more old bay

i've only smoked them once, but it was amazing .... marinade in garlic, EVOO & lemon - then smoke them

I grew up in South Carolina, here is how I like my shrimp -

first I take the heads off the shrimp, and boil them to make shrimp stock.

second I cook some grits in a pot, using shrimp stock, salt, and just a tiny dash of heavy cream if its handy.

third I throw some sausage, garlic, and mushrooms onto the skillet.. and take those out, put on a plate. then I cook the shrimp on the skillet... 1 minute each side... take them off, put them on a plate.

then I mix that skillet grease with some butter and olive oil, and make a roux. When the roux is almost done, I add bell peppers and onions to it. when the roux is finished, I pour in the shrimp stock, sausage, shrimp, garlic, and the mushrooms.

you serve the grits in bowls, and spoon the roux on top with a ladel

if you have a lot of people, and a lot of shrimp, you make some frogmore stew. We do this several times a year, especially at the beach in the summertime.

you need an outdoor propane cooker, a steamer pot, a basket.

You fill the steamer pot halfway with water, and pour in old bay seasoning and salt.

When it reaches a boil, you throw in the red potatoes, wait 20 minutes.

Then you add kielbasa and boil for 10 minutes.

Then you add your sweet corn, and boil for 5 minutes.

Then you add your shrimp, boil for 1 more minute, and pull the basket out, let the water drain out.

When it has drained, you dump the frogmore stew onto a table, and there you go.

Skewered, Fried, Breaded, and Grilled. All 4. It depends how I want to eat them. I grew up eating shrimp, so I eat it any way I feel like eating it.
