How long is the rest of winter? DH went to U of Maine. God Bless you all, I wouldn't survive half of a winter.

Back to shrimp...I tried this with scallops, I don't see why it wouldn't work with shrimp as well. I bought some blackened seasoning and put some in a ziploc bag and shook the scallops in it. (Shrimp in your case.) I heated a skillet with a little touch of olive oil until hot and seared them.

By the way, I am so jealous. I love shrimp! I bet this would work on a George Foreman grill if you have one too!

Hmmm, what else, maybe a spanish rice dish? Like paella but with only shrimp, maybe some sausage or chicken.

You may want to check out www.shrimp.com for some ideas. Please let us know if you come up with some new recipes.

Unfortunately, DH is allergic to shellfish. More for me!

Love this one! and it's fun to make!

Emeril's Jiffy Pop Firecracker Shrimp

1 pound medium-sized shrimp, tails on, rinsed, patted dry and peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons Hot Pepper Oil ( I found this in a gourmet shop, but there is a recipe in his cookbook, let me know if you need it too)
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
1 teaspoon creole seasoning (there is a recipe in his book for this also)

Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1 tablespoon of the pepper oil. Layer the shrimp in a concentric circle in the bottom of a cold 10-12 inch saute pan, leaving about a 1 inch space between the shrimp and the rim of the pan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of pepper oil in the space around the inside of the pan. Sprinkle the popcorn kernels into the oil. Cut a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil about 14 inches long. Place the foil over the pan and press it down firmly over the shrimp, oil and popcorn. Crimp the foil securely around the edges of the skillet. Put the pan over medium-high heat. Cook until it begins to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook for about 2 1/2 minutes more. The corn should begin popping. Start shaking the pan at 30 second intervals. The popcorn will continue to pop for about another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Let sit for about 30 seconds and allow the corn to completely finish popping. Very carefully remove the foil because of the steam, pour the mixture into a large bow, and toss it with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the creole seasoning. Serve immediately.

Another thought today, I just had a caesar salad for lunch with grilled shrimp.

Of course, with the weather, you probably need warm food! Maybe a gumbo?

I know you found my other post funny, how's this for a laugh...It's supposed to be in the high twenties to low thirties tonight. You'd think the world was coming to an end down here!

I honestly don't know how you do it with those winters! If I could get away with calling in sick tomorrow and not having to go out in those temperatures, I would! Now, you have to find that very amusing. BTW, it hasn't snowed in Tampa since 1976. We have pictures of a snowball my sister and I made (a very small one at that.) We kept it in the freezer as long as we could.

DH found the mascot comment very funny! I think he misses the Maine!
