Cast Iron Shrimp Grilling Pan - Have you used it

[uncle eddie]

I wasn't sure where to post this ...so if the Mods need to move it, so be it.

My wife loves shrimp. Yesterday she found this cast iron shrimp grilling pan (see below). Does anyone have it? Likes? Dislikes? Etc.

The reviews say it is hard to clean...but otherwise looks like a new gadget to try.

I think sawhorseray and maybe MJB05615 have that pan

My thoughts on it are, over cooked shrimp if you try to leave them it in to serve, rubber comes to mind, scampi would probably work well in it but would need to be dumped out to stop cooking when done, not sure how well the shrimp would fit and how they would curl ect as it was heated

^^^My thoughts as well^^^
I had already figured on a short cook as the pan is recommended to be preheated to 350F...the shrimp should be done fairly quickly.

I was curious about the moisture/juices the shrimp put out. I was thinking maybe it made a shrimp stew in the bottom of the depressions.

Fishy Christmas

When your wife doesn't eat red meat cuts, and never has, you don't get prime rib for Christmas dinner, plain and simple. To humor my beloved's holiday culinary wishes for Eve dinner last night we had jumbo lemon-butter shrimp in the cast iron tray over hot coals on the Weber. Once the tray is...

I saw several others using it. Just type "cast iron shrimp" into the search box

I do have that Shrimp CI pan, recommended from sawhorseray . I love it! It does cook the shrimp fast once heated. I use it on the Grill. I put some lemon butter in first, then the Shrimp with tails left on, and then while cooking I drizzle a little more lemon butter over it. Takes 3-4 minutes to cook. Once it is near finished, I pull shrimp out of it as fast as I can. I have never had any overcooked shrimp from it. The shrimp does curl a little. I use the 16-20 per pound when I can get them, or the 21-25 per pound. Both sizes fit well.
As for cleaning, at first it was a little cumbersome, but I got a toothbrush that fit each slot perfectly. Cleaning takes 10 minutes or so. I just use warm water. When clean and dry, I use a very small art paint brush to apply a very light coat of veg oil to each slot and all sides top and bottom. Then I store it for the next time. It comes with good directions for initial seasoning burn in. I think bake in a 450' oven with light coating of oil for 1-2 hours upside down over a pan to catch dripping oil.

Awesome - thanks for the tips!

I know I'm gonna get yelled at, but I'm not interested because it is Cast Iron.
I got enough cooking to do with all my Meats & Sides. I don't need any cast iron toys to have to play with in seasoning them too. That's why none of our pans are CI. We just use them, wash them & use them again.
Besides that, Mrs Bear doesn't eat Shrimp or any other Fish or Seafood, so it wouldn't get used much.

sawhorseray has one. And can't say enough good about it. The shrimp from it look great.

Not gonna get yelled at. At least. Not by me. Everybody has a opinion. And yours is much respected here.

Well there you go Eddie, I'd say Jake and Mike have you covered. I've had the tray for months now and love it, we get perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp each and every time. I'd have answered sooner. wifi has been out all day

When I first saw Jake's post I thought, " The pan seems like an interesting addition." My only concern...16/20 Shrimp and 21/25 are pretty consistently the higher count. In one case you have Empty Slots and the other Too many Shrimp for the size of the pan. A 12" CI Pan, on your grill, will do the job for1 pound shrimp and provide extra sauce for Rice or whatever. A 15" or 17" CI will allow 2 or more pounds of Shrimp using only one pan.
Making that Shrimp Pan with 22 slots seems a bit strange to me...JJ☺
