Peel and Eat Shrimp pictures (1 of 5)Every summer, I make sure that I go to the beach as much as I can and dine in at the many seafood restaurants or seafood shacks along the beach. Some of my favorite places to eat are the fun and casual seafood restaurants at Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, and Redondo Beach. Even though the restaurants here are not quite a “shack” like the ones in New England, they serve pretty decent seafood and shellfish that basically scream summer. My favorite dishes are steamer clams, crab cakes, and peel and eat shrimp. Nothing delights me better than having a meal of fresh seafood, sipping down cold drinks, and have fun conversations with my company while soaking up the sun and warmth.
Last year, when my eldest sister came to visit, I took her to one of the seafood restaurants at Santa Monica. I ordered a big bucket of peel and eat shrimp, and we just sat there, peeling and eating. The experience was uniquely American to my eldest sister and she really enjoyed the food. The memory from last summer prompted me to share this peel and eat shrimp recipe, which I plan to make for my guests when I have my summer party next weekend. It’s going to be fun, and I know everyone could always have some peel and eat shrimp, cold beer, and great conversations during summertime. So lay out the brown paper, fill the buckets with the sea bounty, and dig in. Enjoy and don’t forget to check out my summer recipes!

Summer is almost here. In fact, in Southern California, I think summer is already here as the sky is blue and the sun has been coming out to play. I absolutely love summer. Summer time is my favorite time of year as the warmth of the sun embraces my body as I say goodbye to pasty skin, frumpy winter clothing,…
When my eldest sister came to visit in mid April, we were reminiscing on our family recipes, especially all the dishes that our late mother used to prepare on a daily basis. My mother was an excellent and creative home cook. She fed us every day with 4 to 5 dishes. On our dining table, there were always soup, pork/chicken,…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) I love shrimp, so much so that I eat shrimp almost every day–in my stir-fry’s, noodles, take-outs, fried rice, curries, etc. Shrimp is the easiest seafood to find and widely available. Plus, unlike common beliefs, they are not too expensive, if you know where to buy them. For me, the frozen 5 lb….
How do you make shrimp crunchy? More precisely, how do you make shrimp Chinese-restaurant-crunchy? I’ve been obsessed with this subject matter for the longest time–a topic that took me a while to research. If you’ve tried dim sum or shrimp dishes in Chinese restaurants, you know exactly what I mean–shrimp so crunchy they give a mouth feel that they “bounce”…
