I have some big ol' shrimp shipped from my family in Louisiana thawing out in my refrigerator. What is a good yet simple way to make them? Not sure if I want to put them in anything or just eat them alone. I think they are kinda too big to put in anything, though of course I could chop them up.

When I make shrimp, I either put them on the grill or in a pan on the stove and throw some butter, garlic seasoning and some pepper for seasoning and let them do some sauteeing in there (just depends if its a quick meal or a big dinner). I guess it also depends on your taste or preference too.

Didn't read this, but want to clarify that fresh garlic is really the key in what I recommended. Garlic powder is an alternative but you have to use way less as it tastes synthetic. I only use powder in rubs actually.

Appreciate ya for the input, I love to learn how to become a better cook. I dont buy fresh garlic, but maybe i will start and yeah I only use a little bit of garlic salt when I do use it because you dont need to much. I forgot about broiling them also.

NEVER use garlic salt. Garlic powder and kosher salt separately that way you can control seasoning and flavor independently.

I swear the best gimmick of the world is selling people lots of salt and water

Especially when the salt is shitty and ruined and the water is less safe than the tap. Actually just goes to show how fucking stupid the American consumer is. There are a few things about Europe I REALLY wish we absorbed better, but it is all related to people and not geography.

I have Kosher salt and just push that to the back of my seasoning cabinet but tomorrow when I make some baked chicken I will try this process of Kosher salt, garlic powder instead of how I usually do it. Just curious what would you use when you bake chicken?

I don't use the oven so much, but grill/bake you can season the same.

If you are doing low heat (ie <400) you need some browning agent to crisp up the skin. Butter/bacon fat combo are my personal favorites. Kosher of course. Outside of that it depends on what I am serving it with, but I paprika regularly comes to the party. It also helps in the browning. You can also do a flash browning, ie get your oven up to 450 and put in the chicken and turn the temp down to 350-375 and go from there.

What exactly is kosher? are you jewish

<-- has never applied for a job I haven't gotten.

Which is exactly why I should go apply for something new, only to shoot the moon. Someone encourage me.

Social liberal fiscal conservitism.

[///M5 2,833]

Actually just because it was originally used for making meat kosher.

HELLS YES. The problem is that the fiscal conservatism has to win here because the liberals are so far the opposite.

I wasn't the one going out asking for challenges. Don't make me do the leg work.

Hmm, mucky injector = time for an italian tune-up ?

Great metaphor!

:stirs the pot:

I will let you know if I see something that I think would suite you however. I'm just rarely looking at jobs in the tax bracket that I assume your tax bracket is.

Then again assumption is the mother of all fook ups. You could make mimimum wage and just be good at investing and saving!

But that was the challenge.

Jobs I would consider would be running a company that does $10-100M/yr. If I am not the one calling the shots for the whole deal, it would have to be a Sales Director position for a >$15M company with huge upside.

Truly enjoy my job, like my life, don't play an instrument though but have done a lot of and still dabble in a sport where the mental and concentration game trumps all.

Thanks, made more than that when I was 11.

I have zero desire for a job such as that. Stick me in a shop and give me a slightly absurd list of stuff you want built.
