1. I can think of better effluvia to carry with me on my fingers.

:bounce:

Seriously, if soap won't cut it, rub your hands together with baking soda & a little water.

Enjoy your shrimp. Sounds heavenly.

[ceile]

3. Lemon juice works well too

Anything acidic

[jus_the_facts]

[redqueen]

Happy to report

Association for the Promotion of Telepathy?

10. I don't think he is.....can you survey...draft or engineer?

:D

:hi:

[redqueen]

12. No... CURSES!

Alas, I'm only qualified to do menial office work, process invoices, purchase orders, write user, operations and maintenance manuals, and help with the compilation and publishing of enormously boring sales presentations.

My husband can repair printed circuit boards, though... does that help? ;)

:hi:

8. So what time can we come over?

I like scampi by the way! :)

For the smell, lemon juice or vinegar followed by a good hand washing and no one will be able to tell you de-veined all those shrimp!

[jus_the_facts]

16. My broiled recipe is *scampi'ish*......

....it calls for butter...worchestershire sauce..pick a peppa sauce...lemon....garlic...salt 'n' cayenne pepper....mix and pour over the shrimp and broil....then serve it over the saffron rice....it's a different take on scampi!! :9

:hi:

[redqueen]

17. That sounds much better than scampi

Scampi I don't like... that sounds good!

[calico1]

27. Mmmm... sounds good!

:D

[Lefty48197]

11. Busha Browns Jamaican Jerk, butter, and a frying pan

and I'd put them shrimp to work!

[jus_the_facts]

19. LOL...I hear ya....

....I haven't had any in awhile..can't WAIT to eat 'em...it just suuuuuks to clean 'em!!! :D

:hi:

[pagerbear]

So, what time should I be there for dinner?

[jus_the_facts]

20. 'round 6'ish....

....or there 'bouts!! :D

:hi:

[lapfog_1]

14. Seriously, tag and bag the shells

make that, double bag em. Otherwise tomorrow you will regret it.
Better yet, find a dumpster somewhere not near the living.

[jus_the_facts]

22. Well....I grinded 'em up in my garbage disposal...

.....they were whisked away as I was peelin' 'em...smell is all gone already!! :o

:hi:

[lapfog_1]

26. Follow that up with a dose of bicarbonate of soda.

and flush. The stench can come right back up the sink from
traps and such.

[bearfan454]

15. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm !

Sounds great. I love saffron rice too.

[jus_the_facts]

23. The flavor of the sauce I broil these in....goes absolutely PERFECT....

18. Gulf of Mexico shrimp? My gosh, that does sound heavenly!

Back in my old service days, stationed in Mississippi (what has 4 eyes but can't see?) I had a pal get married and his cousin owned a Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Boat.

At the reception were GIGANTIC bowls overflowing with fresh, delicious, Gulf o' Mexico shrimp.

I have never forgotten that delectible experience. Enjoy your shrimp and know I will be there in spirit!

[jus_the_facts]

24. Thankies....they's gooooood eatin' fo' sho'.....

.....and Gulf'uns are the BEST indeed!! I'll think about ya!! :9

:hi:

[morningglory]

21. Best thing about looking at the "veins" is knowing you are not

going to be eating them!

[jus_the_facts]

25. Exactly.....but it still grosses me smoooth out......

.....regardless....and I can't STAND to get shrimp in a restaurant that doesn't give ya the courtesy of removin' 'em either...eeeew! x(

:hi:
