Need help for the Darbonne supper

Well I got 2/3rds of the shrimp peeled for the Darbonne supper Saturday night but I like to try to bring 3 gallons of peeled shrimp and that leaves me with 1 gallon left to peel and I am on an outage at work until next Thursday when I will be leaving to head to Darbonne. I was wondering if a few of you might help me peel the last gallon up there. I would like to try to get them peeled Thursday night if at all possible, that way the rest of the time will be spent visiting old and new friends and fishing. Thanks in advance.

hey dwyane, me and my crew are gonna eat supper around 630 or so friday night. i will round up some volun-tolds and we will help after supper. where do you wanna get together to peel these dudes?? just lemme know and i will be there with back up. ill bring bigjohn for sure. LOL

One gallon! Gee thanks Danny! Guys looks like we got us a winner and we can go fishing while Danny peels the shrimp for us! (Bet you didn't see that one coming Danny!) lol

Hey Dwyne,just bring them unpeeled to TB. We will have a little peeling party Thursday night. That's how we would do it at work.

Danny, hopefully I will get a break before then and can get at least some of them peeled but I am also planning the Larto gathering before toledo so who knows?

Seriously, we can get enough people to help peel them at TB. Meet in the pavillion after Thursday night Mexican meal. And I come from a long line of shrimpers. My father commercial shrimped. My Mom peeled them at a processing dock. My BIL and brother both had shrimp boats. I have gone shrimping many times, and as a kid I too would catch a bushel full with a cast net. I can head or peel shrimp pretty good. Need me to do the gallon at D'arbonne, bring it on.

Sounds good Danny, I will do that at TB. As far as Darbonne, I figure there will be alot of us sitting around telling lies Thursday night and we can get them peeled then. Besides BigJohn and his fishing wife already said they would help! Sorry couldn't help myself Doc!

Sounds like "D" needs to bring his whole family to peel while we sit around and lie. :Rofl

Danny's right Dwayne, bring them to Toledo Bend unpeeled. We'll take care of it.

hey, you my paw paw. Mae said she's in. How do you freeze them. We use zip locks, so I got in the habit of pinching off the tail and head at the same time. Keeps them from poking through the bag.

"D" that's the way I did them for years until I got some small pint and pint and a half plastic square containers with lids. No mo holes to worry about and they stack to nice and neat. If the cover is pushed up by the freezing water the shrimp are still covered with water and so no freezer burn happens. Those ziplocks can inflict a painful wound if they slide off the shelf and the corner hits you on the foot.

That is how I do mine also pawpaw!

Very neat idea. I don't keep that many in the freezer, since all our family is out of shrimping. But those could hurt your toe also. lol

You're right "D" but they don't slide off one another like bags do. Once stacked they pretty much stay in place.
