Week 9 - Animal=Shrimp
This week marked another voyage into the depths of the sea. I, being a land lover and consumer of all things not seafood, grimaced at the prospect of having to eat a shrimp. The Spouse, of course, was excited to be receiving seafood once again.
The shrimp were cleaned, deveined, and rinsed. I then skewered them on dual bamboo skewers as a means of balancing them and turning them easily. They were then marinated with olive oil, kosher salt, crushed black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed lemon peel.
Pork steaks were grilled in addition to the shrimp.
The grill was laid out with dual fires on opposite ends with the food being grilled around the fires. The center of the grill was designed to be a cool zone to avoid overcooking the pork and shrimp.
Hickory wood chips were used on both fires to give a nice smoky flavor to the pork and attempt to disguise some of the fishy smell/taste of the shrimp.
I did take two bites of the shrimp to make sure that I followed my own confounded rules. They were not as bad as I thought they would be. They smelled fishier than they tasted. Still not a fan. Moving on...
Oh, by the way the photo is a before shot of the shrimp. I do not have an after photo but visualize the same thing only pinker.
