Pan fried shrimps (delicious pics)
 

Got home from work on Friday night, and threw together one of my favorite dinners; Shrimps pan fried with garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley. Served with spicy jambalaya. It was so fucking tasty!!!!

can I come over for supper one night? lol, damn that looks friggen delicious!!

Those are huge!! But why did you leave the shell on?

Those look mighty tasty

That does look good

Keeping the shell on for cooking improves / increases the flavor when cooked, and also ensures that much of the moisture from the shrimp is kept inside. The best way to cook a shrimp is hot and fast with the shells, and if you have them, heads on.

ok, now I'm hungry...

again :(

I made shrimp lettuce wraps Saturday night. Sauteed them in butter, garlic, chives, then added a bit of chili sweet and sour sauce.. Loaded bibb lettuce leaves with a mixture of bell pepper, onion, cucumber and shredded cabbage marinated in a bit of garlic soy sauce.. then topped with the shrimp..

Nomnomnom.

Tonight I made cream of chicken vegetable soup with potato gnocchi.

looks fucked up

Yummy.

After soaking them in sea-salt water awhile, I often do them on the 'barbie with skewers, red peppers and a few scallops.

Bring on the garlic butter.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That looks very nice!

that's not true, the seasoning cant get in as good with the shell on

and those shrimp (not shrimps) look sauteed, not pan fried, to me

and yes, i am a shrimp expert :upsidedow

I'm hungry... :)

Looks very yummy!

Looks Good to me ;)

so you didn't clean the shrimp? yak I don't eat uncleaned shrimp.

MMmmmmm looks good.

Nice shit :)

You say tomato, I say tomato...

since you like pan fried shrimp.. do it the right way.


peel the shrimp
dredge them in flour
pan fry them in butter
when they are almost finished, splash in a little grand marnier
fire it, then serve over the pasta of your choice

what you did above was a quick "sautee" which means "to jump" as the pan is hot when you add the mouth sized pieces of food. The heat makes them jump a bit and so does the cooking motion as you toss them in the pan.

that does look tasty

that looks damn good

mmm, yummy yummy!

Looks great :thumbsup

that looks delicious!!

Damn that looks good.

Electric stove... Lots of water in the pan...

They were steamed/braised!

play fair. ideally head on is even better.
a split shell is a good medium, allows for vein removal, easy peeling. and some seasoning to get in. shells do keep moisture in, do add flavor but yes can block spices. however the shells do flavor the liquid more than shelled shrimp. plus shells give shrimp some insulation againt over cooking which can happen in seconds.

i expert on shrimps too. i just aint picky either way as long as they are not over cooked.

yum yum :)

I'd hit it..

Damn serve me a plate mate :)

damm, hot shrimp :O

those look so tatsy... I´m getting some shrimps today! and it´s your fault!! :P

shrimp experts blah blah blah, jambalaya expert is all you need in here. Been down here eating authentic cajun/creole food every day lol

But looks good nonetheless!

fact is the shrimp should be cooked IN the jambalaya and with the rice along with your sausage if you wanna call it jambalaya ;)

peel the shrimp and put them in after you cook down thw andouille sausage and ham etc... rice and stock goes in last, but shrimp should ALWAYs be peeled in jambalaya, it flavors the rice!

;)

one of the most famous dishes made by my people!
