CAUTION FOOD PICS--2am SHRIMP BOIL

Went to store bought 3lbs ( 1 1/2 kilo) shrimp, peel shrimp, fire up the burner, add one 40 oz beer and cup of vinegar, Old Bay and bring to a boil for 3-4 minutes.





My favorite seasoning





Sprinkle more old bay on it when it cools

I am guessing you are on the east coast of the USA? Most people out west have never heard of Old Bay.

Looks great.

Were you using the bezel to time the cooking?

I had a stay in D.C. for a while and the Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs were cooked on the side of the road and steamed with old bay seasoning, I think it was July and August when they were caught and sold by the trappers. They were sooo good. I'd suck the grey matter, stomach right out of the crab, a little work but but nothing a wooden hammer and a few cold beers wouldn't take care of. Claws and legs so good !

No crabs here in the desert but Old Bay is in every store and lots of shrimp too Anyone that's had these knows how good the inside of a 🦀 Crab is. Thats the best part bezel on GMT is the best invention in the world for cooking, travel and massages

Hi Phil !
My mom was a chef in her own right, I was the only boy who really jumped in. I cook all the time, wife's not aloud in the kitchen. I'd put up more pictures of all my cooking but I always forget to take the pictures.

It's truly a passion for me, as it's not uncommon to do all holiday dinners and summer grill outside every weekend by the pool. I do it much less now as daughter is moved and I travel so much. I do more cooing when it's not 125 degrees outside, so winter is when I get down to work. I love to pair wine with my meals. Cabernet goes with anything

Hope all is well and there's only room for 1 chef in the kitchen and Gerardo was first

Thanks everyone.

It's all about prep and being organized.. and passion. It would be fun for Gerardo and I to do a demonstration meal in a real demonstration kitchen at a GTG

Mark

Oh, and speaking of crabs, 3 weeks ago I had Florida Stone Crab for the first time at a very nice restaurant and thought they were disgusting. Sorry Florida, nothing beats Alaskan Jumbo King Crab. The cold water makes a huge difference. Each leg weighed 3/4 of a pound and so sweet tasting. Butter, lemon and red pepper flakes. I was in heaven in my own kitchen loving every minute of it. Worth every bit of the mess I made. Kitchen shears sliced them right down the leg so no work as your eating them.

Excellent idea. They are so good I could get the jumbo 10-15 a pound size and
They have that spicy taste and would go so great with some beer and wine ..

drink the same beer as I cook them in. I use nice cab in my onion soup and serve the same wine for dinner. It's amazing !

Nice pick up by the way and welcome to the elite club !
