Yes I did get the recipe and suggestions. Thanks for sending the information.Forgot about how well coleslaw goes. Will print and file the information. DH has been not feeling well so have to go to lung Dr. tomorrow to find out why. He is extremely short of breadth and with his other problems they have to be real careful of what they give him.

Curious, right now my shrimp are the jumbo (real large, in the shell) Can I do this without the shell? or try to devein them? or? Or should I get smaller (large or med shrimp. Shrimp guy comes once a month.

I buy shell on, and deveined at Publix.

I THINK years ago when I first started cooking the shrimp, I did do some with shell off and deveined.

You can also use the same recipe and cook fish filets.

I used to buy Gordon's frozen flounder filets and cooked them. They were as well received as the shrimp.

Sorry to hear about your husband. Hope the lung dr can help him. Keep us updated, please.

Whenever I see a recipe that calls for large or jumbo shrimp I have to ask myself, large or jumbo according to who's definition?

Technically speaking shrimp are graded by how many pieces of a certain size will average a pound.

When I lived in Corpus Christie, Texas I worked on a shrimp boat for about 6 months. On the Gulf Coast "Jumbo Shrimp" are 2-4's, Extra Large Shrimp are 4-6's and Large Shrimp are 6-12's while 12-18's are "table Shrimp" and anything smaller than 18's are "popcorn shrimp"

I now live in Central Massachusetts and last week while going through the grocery store I noticed they are selling 12-18's as "Large Shrimp" but then I doubt if anyone in this area has ever seen a 2-4 shrimp which ranges between a half and a quarter pound....LOL

I found this poem 20 yrs ago when I lost my Dad. I used a program to do a beautiful church background, then super imposed this poem on top of it. I printed it on photo paper, placed in a frame, and placed it on my Dad's grave. Someone stole it that very day. When I'd shared it with others, I was amazed at how it touched so many people's hearts. Thanks, Glenda, for sharing this and bringing back such poignant memories. I would have loved to have met the person who wrote it.
