Yeah , I always cook seafood with some coconut oil as it is antimicrobial. But out of curiosity , what "quality" do you refer to

They're usually fresh water shrimp that live in dirtier water. Sewage and poor diet kinda stuff.

What does the coconut oil do?

What does the coconut oil do?

I always use coconut oil when cooking stuff. It's known for killing microbial pathogens including candida.

I had tons of info on this at one time. I will repost

Are the shells hard to peel off?

When I cook any shellfish, I will add vinegar to the water. Vinegar will help loosen the meat from the shell.

I cook Alaskan crab legs all the time and I use a 10 gallon pot. I will add about 3/4 cup of vinegar to the pot while it is heating up to a boil. Then I add the legs. Meat comes right out of the shell.

I have a cookout coming up before my wife goes back to work as a teacher. I can't wait.

I soaked them in hot sauce and then cooked them in more. Distilled vinegar is usually the second or third ingredient in hot sauce. So I use some but not too much because vinegar is powerful. It can soften the shell but it can also alter the flavor of the seafood and will contribute to drying it out

Yea it can alter it. I found early on that more isn't always better when it comes to vinegar. I had one batch about 15 years ago that I couldn't break the shells. They would just bend. I had added too much.

I bet those shrimp were good although I don't like mine that big.

The medium size are always good to me.

Seems the bigger they get the tougher they are but it could just be me and my experiences with them.

Damn...I'm hungry now.

Generally I use some of these hot sauces that are generally just flavored vinegar. They are nowhere as hot as habanero sauces.

2 of them are the newer tabascos that came out 2002 and the other 2 are the "try me" sauces everyone had before
I cook with them instead of pouring on food

These are really mild and server the purpose of adding flavor and as you say, soften the shell

 

[jenscats5]

LOVE the 2 Tabascos you like.....have them also....
