The local King stupids had a great sale on feshwater shrimp this week. 3.99 pound instead of 17.99 pound. I have never tried the large freshwater varieties, but I am impressed with how these taste. First of all these are the 6 to 8 count size. Look like small lobster tails! HUGE! I marinated in olive oil, taco sauce, fresh lime juice, garlic, and kosher salt for an hour. The bag is a gallon size ziplock to give you some perspective on the size of these bad boys!
I used the weber kettle with coal and large chunks of mesquite wood. I put the shrimp on the non heat side and covered for 5 minutes to let smoke, then finished over the hot coals while basting with clarified butter. Served with fettuchini alfredo, and a dipping bowl of the clarified butter. Tasty eats. Sorry no dinner plate pics. The Camerones dissapeared too quickly!
