I love shrimp fixed any way. Lately the best shrimp I can get is frozen Key West wild caught pink shrimp, shell on, I get at Krogers. The only thing better would be getting them off the boat in Key West!
The southerners have their shrimp & grits; I would fix my shrimp with some smoked mush & cheesy pull bread and a green salad side. The cornmeal mush I buy, easier than making my own. I usually slice about 3/8 inch thick & fry in butter or olive oil.
I got my small sour dough bread ball sliced & added some shredded sharp cheddar & bacon bits between the cuts. I heated 3 TBS butter with about 1 tsp Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix to pour over the bread before baking & wrapped in foil.
I sliced the mush & on my smoker at 200 deg for a half hour & then go to 325 deg for doing the shrimp. The mush was in a total of 1 hour. After I put the mush on got the sauce ready for the shrimp and put it on the smoker the last 20 minutes. I did the bread at 350 deg in the oven for 15 min then folded the foil down for another 20 min & had it ready when the shrimp was done.
My wife & I sure enjoyed this, shelling out the shrimp & dipping the cheesy bread in the sauce. It is messy to eat & a wet cloth is a must!
