I grew up in New England but we didn’t eat fish. We did eat shellfish though. My dad loved a good lobster stuffed with lobster. My favorite shellfish growing up were steamers (steamed clams) while my sister preferred fried clams, and my mom liked scallops. We also liked shrimp. Usually in a shrimp cocktail and occasionally a shrimp boil. Growing up shrimp were always served already peeled, even the tails. When we moved to Florida we discovered that no one serves fully peeled shrimp! At least the tails were always left on and often it was served peel-and-eat style. My dad always complained about that, he was paying good money for shrimp why should he have to work for it? LOL!

This Grilled Shrimp and Yellow Rice recipe is easy and delicious.

My husband and I like shrimp, but my husband only likes them cooked, not boiled and served cold in shrimp cocktail. For Father’s Day I got him a Grill Basket to make it easier for him to grill his shrimp. He loves how easy it makes grilling the shrimp. He used to either skewer them, which is extra work, or cook them on aluminium foil, which would often rip. No he just puts them in the grill basket and stirs them around occasionally!

It is easy to make this Grilled shrimp recipe in a grill basket.
