Tonight it is hopefully good freezer cleaning. Have a 4 pound bag of large white shrimp that have been in there long enough to get frosty. I usually don't go the boil method but part of why they haven't been cooked so far is they are labor intensive... They are deveined and have no eggs attached, but otherwise are whole with heads, feet and tails. I'm concerned there might be some freezer taste so I have rinsed them with cold water and am starting the water for the boil because of that thing about watched pots. I'm just going to use some Old Bay, maybe with an extra spoonful of red pepper flakes.
I expect hubby to help me peel them when he gets home. Then they will either be good to go or finished off with garlic butter. I'm betting butter will sound good to the hubby!
A long time ago when I was a young 20 something in Alaska, my next door neighbor was a shrimp fisher. She would trade me bags of the fully raw style shrimp for rides and things. It was a good system
but I've gotten lazy as I've gotten older.
