Fried some fresh shrimp this evening. They look weird because I butterfly them. A light beer batter is what we like, don't care for the thick cornmeal as breading. Did them in the outdoor kitchen because we don't care for frying in the house. That along with some fresh squash with them fried will work nicely this evening:

Those look great! We just had flathead catfish, squash, cucumbers and hush puppies.
Hush puppies - mercy! Haven't had those in some time. Wish I had a decent recipe.

We'll have some fresh shrimp tomorrow. I just picked up 50 pounds of 21/25's for 2 dollars a pound. Have them on ice until the morning.

Man that looks good.
Those fresh shrimp look great.
Mercy Gene at $2.00 a pound. That is dirt cheap, you must know someone who has a boat bringing them in. Don't blame you buying 50 pounds.
Meanwhile, since Dwayne was talking about gators, couldn't help myself. One pound pulled out of the freezer and thawed. Into the fryer along with some more sliced squash:

Will work nicely with a coconut cream pie Ann is making me for Father's Day this evening.
Man Gene, $2 pound for 21/25s is a deal for sure! Randy, you going to make me take some shrimp out to cook! Never really thought about frying squash, will have to give that a try. Not crazy about squash but don't hate it either. As far as the hush puppy recipe, looking on the recipe thread for BamaFan's recipe, some of the best I have tasted. I will look and see if I have it in a PM if you can't find it.
BamaFan's hush puppy recipe. Here you go Randy!
BamaFan's hushpuppie recipe
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 tsp. salt or preferred seasoning
1 tsp. baking powder
1 can 16 oz cream style corn
1 egg
1 med onion, chopped
Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder. Add corn, egg, and onion. Mix lightly and drop into 325 degree oil until golden brown. 6 to 8 servings.
This is his original recipe, I believe he has changed it since then but I prefer this one. Even my sister in law (who doesn't like hush puppies) liked these.
Enjoy!
Yep, $2 a pound right off the boat. Actually after peeling them I found that the were about 30 percent 21/25, about 30% 25/30 and the rest were 31/36, which is still a great deal no matter how you look at it. These were caught in the Four League Bay area which is fairly fresh water with all the rain we've had so the shrimp are very tasty and sort of sweet, no iodine in these shrimp. Shrimp from that area and the Dulac area are the only one's I'll buy. They are the best tasting of all.

Ann.....with this hush puppy recipe....if you want them real light...just add a little mayonaise and it will make them light like a donut. And if you dont use Sunflower corn meal it wont taste right lol....don't know why but its da truth.

Haven't heard of Sunflower corn meal. I assume that's a brand name?Quote:

Gene, mine are the same way b/c I am catching them in somewhat brackish water. They do taste a lot sweeter than the ones that are coming out of the gulf! And you are right $2 pound is a great deal even if they aren't all 21/25s! That is cheaper than I can go and catch them myself, by the time I put the gas and time into it!Quote:

Here's your recipe for hot water cornbread that makes about 15 or 16 silver-dollar sized hush puppies. It's from Cane River Cuisine
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 small chopped onion
Sift first 5 ingredients together mixing with the chopped onion. Add enough cold water to dampen the dough. Next, add enough boiling water to make a cake-like consistency and drop from a spoon and fry in hot shortening or peanut oil until brown.
Sometimes I will chop up one mild jalapeno and add to it. If I want to make the cornmeal lighter, I will mix it 50/50 white cornmeal and yellow cornmeal. My personal favorite is to add a couple of spoonfuls of beer in place of the cold water to dampen the dry mixture before adding the hot water.
ENJOY!
