An easy, fun meal for deer camp, first presented to my good buddy Fred (a shrimp afficionado) at Fred's Rock House on a summer retreat. A salad (see Sunset Farm Oil and Vinegar dressing)and baked potatoes are good complements.

2

Mix peanut oil and curry paste.

3

Thoroughly coat ½ the shrimp with the mixture.

4

Lay the shrimp and coat heavily with salt and pepper.

Flip the shrimp and repeat the coating, being careful to keep as much of the seasoning adhering to the shrimp as possible.

6

Put the beer, Old Bay and water into the boiling vessel for the rest of the shrimp and bring the pot to a boil.

7

Get the grill or broiler very hot.

8

Lay the shrimp on the grill, turn after 2 - 3 minutes (variable) and finish until the shrimp are just firm.

9

Put the remaining shrimp into the boiling mix and remove when just done.

Author Notes

The general idea for the grilled shrimp is to very heavily season them. When you peel them a portion of the seasoning sticks to the shrimp, your fingers etc., but mosts will fall off. I'm fond of Thai seasoning with shrimp but any sort of curry powder or paste will do, adjust the quantity of oil as needed. You can allow the shrimp to marinate for up to 1½ hrs.
