What’s YOUR method for cooking shrimp for “cocktail”?

I’ve settled on a method that results in shrimp I like, but wouldn’t mind trying some new things.

For me I cook only shell on/EZ peel from fresh or thawed by putting the shrimp in seasoned OR unseasoned (depending on mood, audience) COLD/room temp water, covering the shrimp with about 1/2 inch to inch (5mm) of excess water. Put the burner on high and depending on the size of the shrimp (21/25 and larger) I’ll cook until the water is just about to boil. I don’t personally go by opaque flesh or time and rather just go by this method. Bigger shrimp I let go an extra 30 seconds. A strong boil is too long, but that period right before boil seems to work well. You know that moment when you’re seeing a little steam coming off the top and there’s a distinct sound that things are hot! Then Immediately put on ice and then in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill. Oh and I put in a freezer bag with paper towels to pulls excess moisture.

For seasoning sometimes it’s just some salt, sometimes I like a little chicken bouillon. Not a lot, just for the touch of salty/sweet.

Anyway, I’m not suggesting this is some “great method” or “better than” [insert your method] but one thing it’s good at is taking the guesswork out of whether something has had enough time or not. Sometimes when shell on it’s a little difficult to tell especially with larger shrimp, for me anyway. This could help with someone who is consistently overcooking using a different method. A couple “boil bubbles” is fine too. You won’t overdo it unless it reached hard/rolling boil.

Anyway, what else can I try?

What’s your favorite seafood and why?

Octopus is great but shrimp never fails me. It doesn’t matter how they make it, what restaurant, or what ingredients are used, I’ve never had bad shrimp.

Advice on cooking thick tuna cuts

TLDR:

  • Are these cuts too thick to pan sear?
  • How can I grill / cook these completely with no pink, while keeping them yummy?

I was given about 1kg of tuna cuts, the tuna was caught fresh yesterday. I prettied up the cuts and put the off cuts into the freezer for pasta and sashimi. I have ended up with about 12 tuna cuts that look basically the same as the pictures attached.

I have never ever cooked tuna. Cooked plenty of Salmon and steak. I imagine tuna is like a fragile steak. I want to pan sear, keeping the insides rare just like I would a scotch fillet. the issue lies with my parents, they don't want to see even a little bit of colour inside the tuna.

For my parents I want to charcoal grill or use the propane Webber Q to cook theirs so its cooked evenly and completely.

I plan on just salting the cuts and cooking them plain. for me Its very rare to get this kind of meat so I really want to savour it.

Anyone else have an oyster drawer every weekend?

Ever since I found out Whole Foods has one dollar oysters on Fridays, I’ve bought 3-4 dozen every week. Ice in the refrigerator drawer and oysters in a Pyrex on top. They stay good for days and every time I walk by the fridge, I’ll grab a few for a quick snack. These are Moondancers from Maine and Great Whites from Mass if I recall correctly.

I need new recipe for crab legs

Ok so people love the way I make crab legs but I’m looking to make an alternative recipe.

I melt butter with old bay, garlic powder, minced garlic, red pepper flakes and parsley. Then I pour it all over and cover. Afterwards I bake at 350° for 20 minutes.

What are some other sauces I could try?

Sea Urchin Stock?

I recently harvested some wild purple sea urchin, and besides the delicious roe, wanted to sea if I could get more use from them. I boiled the cleaned shells in water (like we do with shrimp, crab, and clam shells for normal seafood stock).

I’ve ended up with a purple broth which initially smelled like shellfish with a hint of the richness of the roe, but now it smells very prominently of lavender. I haven’t tasted it yet, but anyone have any experience with this or any thoughts about how to use it?
