This is a great cookbook to use as a starter.
I've tried a couple of the recipes and they've all turned out great.
So I use the book as a base when I'm trying new stuff and I add my own flare to it.

You don't seem to know, so i'll enlighten you. The equivalent of the lower intestine, (the entire digestive tract for that matter) of a shrimp runs along its back and is known as the vein. Its pretty much filled with digested planton/ algae/ sand particles. The act of removing this is known as deveining. I only devein larger shrimp, its really nothing with smaller ones- considering the fact most people who make statements about weird foods, eat things like sushi or even un brined green vegetation(crestle, lettuce)which can contain trematodes/flukes metacercarial cysts that develop in the human as a host which completes its lifespan in you and using your body as an egg dispenser from your feces. But i still eat sushi from time to time, just not a big fan.

naparima cookbook is great for pple who want to cook but have no idea how to .

as for the shrimp worst experience i had was in louisiana where they sold cajun shrimp ... seems that they just threw it in a big pot wit seasoning and salt and a bit of cayenne pepper and boiled it.. thing looked weird with the vein filled with stuff in it.. sorry wont eat shrimp liek that

but a good pepper shrimp does cut .

[TRDGUY]

First time i ate Biryani (chicken/lamb) from Apsara i had to try it at home , its a bit time consuming but i had to try a unique dish like this. I did compliment myself for doing such a great job ...... haha..

my wife shared it with her colleagues and they could not believe i cooked /bake that. It was damn good.

IMHO adding your own twist here and there is the key to cooking and enjoying it after.

i gots 2


trick in it is it needs to be "seasoned" properly

[pugboy]

I agree fried shrimp heads are the bomb

I always make gumbo with the shrimp head stock,
beats any fish broth.

[c@ri$$@]

I've had it stateside.
Never tried to cook it (too much butter on this diet)
Check my shiz out - shameless plug: tastumgoodum.com

Nothing could beat a man who could cook.

Leh we hear dat gumbo recipe na....

[meccalli]

I'm not sure about seasoning a cast iron skillet, that's usually done to woks in order to make a pseudo non stick coating with oil at high temps. The cast iron skillet- you want your food to stick(well i do) and get browned/caramelized, so you can deglaze and make pan reductions
and yeah lets have that recipe!

[pugboy]

Gumbo is basically a soup starting with a roux which
is flour cooked on low heat until it is browned but not burnt.
Google roux for more info.

After which garlic, onions, green peppers,celery are added chopped and then the shrimp head stock as well as any other seasoning.
Cooked until they soften up.

You can then add whatever you want, eg fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, sausages, carbs etc.
