Sort of on/off the subject...
Does anyone know of a source in the Midwest to get American caught Gulf Shrimp? I've gone to dozens of stores. All I ever find is imported farm raised... Just like to support the local guys!
thanks

This is a good one:
Shrimp shelled and deveined. Soak bamboo skewers in water - use a empty clean beer bottle.
Partially cook a 1/2 piece of bacon for each shrimp. Bacon must still be limp. Beware of thin sliced bacon.
Cut your shrimp length wise halfway through the back of each shrimp.
Insert a raw sliver of jalepeno in the shrimps opening.
Wrap with bacon
Insert 2 skewers into the shrimp (easier to turn over)
This holds the shrimp, jalepeno, and bacon together.
Baste with favorite BBQ sauce
Grill medium / medium high
Grill 5 minutes basting & turning once
Do not overcook - they are done when they turn opaque throughout

Absolutely,, Where can we get good ole USofA shrimp? the asia ones are not the same and don't have the same taste ot texture. in fact I haven't had shrimp in weeks for just that reason.. The Texas Coast is 500 miles away ,, not worth the drive with the cost of gas these days.

Some good sounding recipes for sure. I know what you mean about shrimp though. I remember when I was a kid, fishing out of Galveston, the bait shrimp then, would be sold as prawns now. lol
