For my pre-game meal (as it were) I selected Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp. The recipe appeared simple enough even to an unskilled hand such as mine. I journeyed to the local general store and bartered for the items I would need. Now I was almost ready to cook!
Before anybody cooks anything they must first gather everything they will need.
Then, a little courage for the night's endeavor.
On with it!
Thaw, peel and dry two dozen 26/30 scrimps.
Measure out 3/4 cup good-quality OJ.
Slice 2-4 (I used 3) cloves of garlic very thinly and add them to your OJ.
Add 1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper and 1 tsp. Old Bay (no substitutes, please.)
Give it a healthy stir.
Now it's time for the scrimps. Melt two tbsp. SALTED butter over high heat. Have the scrimps on standby for as soon as the butter melts.
As soon as the butter is melted start adding you shrimp to the pan working your way to the middle.
After 30-60 seconds begin turning your scrimps over starting with the first one you put in the pan. (CAUTION: Short-term memory required.)
After 30-60 additional seconds they are done, remove them from the pan, but leave your fire burning. When the pan just starts to smoke add your Spicy Orange Garlic goodness and give it a stir to get all the flavor bits stuck to the pan. And the final tbsp. of butter.
Cook over high, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens and leaves pan trails.
Add your scrimps back in toss to coat and you're all but done.
Enjoy a couple while waiting on your potato to bake.
Yeah boy! (that's a potato back there)
Now eat until you lapse into a food coma.

Please note: I know absolutely nothing about cooking, but I do know how to read and follow directions so I would like to big up Pastor Ryan for his simple, yet dope recipe. I stole his recipe and his picture idea without remorse. I hope he understands that I did so out of love for shrimps. He is a better man and cook than I am, please check out his other recipes. They are good. The Chicken Tikka Masala I made a couple weeks ago was his too.

I just burped shrimp looking at your blog. It's almost pretend as good the second time.
you read pioneer woman?
(also good job, now make me some dinner bitch)
The food parts, yeah.
I will be your dinner making monkey, but you'll need to jot down your dietary restrictions for me.
You better not kill Miss Kendra with your careless cooking!
Duh, why do you think I asked her to jot down her dietary restrictions for me. What am I going to do? Accidentally kill one of the 3 women alive who actually likes me. (I'm presuming my sister and mother like me)
I think Rich's grandma might like you.
Is it difficult being a gay man in Kansas? Do the Bible thumpers threaten you overtly or is it a more subtle thing?
I have no idea, seeing as A) I'm not gay and B) I don't live in KS.
Good to see you, though.
a) come out the closet and be proud. you're too old to continue living in denial. embrace it.
b) when you did live in Kansas, did you have lots of Judy Garland Wizard Of Oz posters in your bedroom, next to the My Little Pony collection?
Who's been showing John my Flickr album?
Who the fuck is John? And why is he harassing you when that's clearly MY domain?
