Brianzipperdog123 What you don’t like your shrimp touching end to end and rubbery enough to bounce off the floor?
HerbcoFood I grew up eating shrimp like that (since my mom didn’t know better) and hated shrimp, except in aspics. Moving to Louisiana and getting fresh shrimp right out of the Gulf, and being cooked by knowledgeable people… well I am now a big shrimp fan! Don’t tell the crawfish population but I prefer shrimp boils over crawfish boils. Don’t get me wrong though I will try every year to put both of those buggers on the endangered species list

Dr_Pain Yeah crawfish boils are ok, I don’t go nuts over them like some people do. I am perfectly fine with a shrimp boil. Also I am in the minority on this: corn and potatoes are a waste of time.

Chef over cooked shrimp are very difficult to peel and the flesh is tough as you said. An easy way to peel them is grab the legs and three parts of the shell and pull it off then hold the tail and swipe it in the sauce and put it in your mouth and pinch the base of the tail and it’ll pop into your mouth. When I boil shrimp as soon as they float to the surface they are done and ready to put on ice if you’re in a rush. By the way you need a gallon of sauce for 250 lbs of shrimp and a keg of beer.
Brianzipperdog123 You obviously know how to eat, Guess you can go through your share of crawfish as well.
I’ve shocked my shrimp boils with ice to stop the cooking for years.
Would want to divide 250 pounds of shrimp to make shrimp remoulade. Another favorite that took me a few years to get the recipe where I want. AND NO - There is no ketchup is remoulade sauce. I modeled it after an Old Antoine’s recipe that they no longer have on their menu.

HerbcoFood I grew up eating fresh corn “properly cooked” and most of the people boiling usually get a bag of frozen corn chunks and overcook them to the point where it is just fibrous mush. As far as potatoes… if they split the potatoes in a heavily spiced boil and you have a good crawfish dipping sauce, well I will eat a few of them. I also love to eat the boiled garlic and mushrooms are the bomb because they soak up that spiced. To be 100% honest, I usually recycle all that fluff stuff. I use the onions to make french onion soup (with a twist). I use the garlic in stews, soups and other dishes that require a little flavoring but not the pungent taste of garlic. I’ve made spreads before. Corn unfortunately will go in the trash

Chef You have all gone insane in this post? I am usually able to follow fairly random and odd thought patterns but this one is all over the place, love it! It looks truly amazing chef, bravo!

How does barbecued get into the recipe name?
The story I was told was that the term barbecue was used as a term for grilling slow and slow in a sauce which the original recipe for BBQ shrimp represented when they unleashed it in the 50s. Since then it has been mostly associated with the grilling of meat in a pit. The appellation for the BBQ sauce now only represents where it is normally used.

Dr_Pain adajet Absolutely the truth, (not a Cajun folklore).
Here’s a link : https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/first-barbecue-sauce-was-shrimp-not-ribs#:~:text=As legend has it%2C barbecue,lots of butter%2C and pepper.
Of course, any Cajun, with enough beer of bourbon can come up wih a better story! LOL

This has definitely been an entertaining post.

Dr_Pain A South American Phrase vla yapa. In the early 1900’s, when one bought half a nickel of red beans, and half a nickel of rice, the market would throw in lapniappe, that of a ham bone. Got a lot of people through the depression. True to the people of Louisiana, always give a little something for nothing, a blessing to other.

Man, I was so looking forward to sending you a little gift. I’ll give you another change. It does not bear origin in South American influence but with my country folks

GWG8541 Sort of, but this custom goes back to mediaeval time. The penalty for short weigh was server, so bakers just gave an extra loaf of bread rather than risk the punishment.

Dr_Pain I think you got me. I know Mart Twain referenced it, declaring that the French influence modified the South American custom, but I give.

Chef he said he’s from Canada originally. I’d say French or French Creole.

Chef your explanation of Baker’s Dozen and the answer quoted are super close.
The origin comes from the NOLA commerce during which they weighed all the goods. For the rice and beans and other larger goods they would weigh it directly on the scale and just dump it in your bag but for smaller/powdery good they would weigh it on a table cloth (une nappe). The buyer would ask a little more for “la nappe” since it skewed the scale and some of the goods would stay in the weave. Over the years the term got bastardized and mispronounced and obviously phonetically misspelled. La nappe became Lagniappe (very similar prononciation)
You can redeem yourself if you can tell me the difference between the Thibodeau and Thibodeaux
I hope this makes it into a recipe folder on waltons
