I made the big haul on shrimp the other day. They were on sale and they were the big fat, juicy kind--already deveined and easy to shell. Score! So I splurged on a pound. I decided to grill all of them and skewered and cooked em up, mi-T-fine. F-I-N-E! And now I have them in a big ol' container waiting and ready for meals and set snacks.

I also made a passel of fresh pico with avocado and lime. Holy guacamole crudo! So. Damn. Good.

I am eating it for elevensies as we speak and the world just doesn't get any better!!!

Oh hail mighty shrimp

Your charred smoky flesh delights

Get in mah belly.

I'm a weirdo -- I like the taste of shrimp, but I can't stand the texture!

In the Vietnamese and Asian groceries they have these shrimp crackers! LOL you should check em out!

You can also process em raw into a paste and form them into patties like croquettes. It will help deal with the texture.

I adore the lobster-like texture. Wish I could afford lobster, but not gon' happen. LOL.

Try Monkfish not as expensive and very similar in taste and texture to lobster

I would but the Houston market doesn't carry monk fish. When we do it's about $23/lb. Isn't that so stupid? I love it though!
