Cook it up into a dish to cool.



Into the fridge see ya later.

Later this afternoon…..Get the shrimp ready.

Some nice tiger shrimp



Shelled and deveined and the shells in the pot.





Let’s get the sauce going. The players



All in cook for 30 minutes



Strain and then reduce



About 45 minutes later a cup and a half down to about a quarter cup



Let’s get the shrimp ready. The players.



Looking good



Let sit for about an hour. Get them skewred.



Get the grit cakes ready





Need some bread for the meal. How about some mini cheddar bay biscuits’.

Grit cakes to brown



Shrimp on the Barbie

Turtle I am very familiar with Rick's outstanding cooks! At the BPS site he would make some excellent meals for the weekly contest. Guy is a top notch cook!

Looks fantastic Rick!
