No! Do you think I could rip the heads off?! No! I don't even hangout in the kitchen when he's steaming crabs. Gawd. I go to the seafood market & say I want that & that, they wrap it up & I'm on my way.

Whenever we get chinese takeaway I always order something with king prawns.

At home I like to do haddock or plaice fillets grilled in foil, my wife does a very good fish pie (chunks of fish fillet in creamy cheese sauce topped with whipped potatos).

I like to butterfly the shrimp, stuff them with cream cheese and fresh jalapenos, sprinkle them with Old Bay and then wrap in bacon and broil them.

i moved this over from the ginger cookie thread--->

here are two worth posting...my Mom always made these delicious Maryland crabcakes ( i grew up in Maryland).





Maryland Style Crab Cakes

Ingredients:

1 tbsp minced basil

3 tbsp mayonnaise

1 egg

¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp mustard

2 tbsp bread crumbs

1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning or seafood spice (this is to taste, use less if you don’t want the spice)

12 oz crabmeat, drained, flaked and checked for shells

4 tbsp olive oil

Preparation:

1. Mix together basil, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and seasoning.

2. Add crabmeat to mixture and toss lightly

3. Form crab into round patties. Place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Chill the patties in the freezer for 15 minutes, this will help them stay together when cooking

4. In medium-sized skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil. Place 2-3 crab cakes in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.

5. Garnish with tartar sauce or lemon. Serve and enjoy!

**Cook’s note. Please be careful, as hot oil will splatter when the crab cakes are placed in the hot skillet to be cooked.

Have you been hanging out with black people again, Duchess?

Every time I go to the seafood market there is always at least one fat black lady in there who says "I'm gonna go home and eat me some shrimps". White people just call them shrimp.

I don't know where I picked that up & it's been so long since I've been in the company of a black person that I can't even recall when it was.
