Later in the podcast, Peggy asks questions about grileld shrimp. Paula's advice to Peggy is to use a skewer or basket to make it easier to turn. Paula's version of BBQ shrimp starts with beer and then 2-4 sticks of butter followed by herbs and olive oil and some Old Bay seasoning and garlic.

tell you when I head south I eat seafood
5:35
twice a day yeah and and shrimp is my
5:37
favorite but I will tell you I'm scared
5:40
to death to fix it myself but I did I've
5:44
got your air fryer and I did pull out
5:46
couple recipes the chaman shrimp and the
5:49
air fried shrimp so I'm going to try
5:51
those this week but a real quick
5:53
question if I just want to grill shrimp
5:56
I I like a shrimp that's just grilled
5:58
and I add hot sauce to it yeah yeah
6:01
what's the easiest way do I Sal it do I
6:03
throw it in the oven or I I tell you
6:05
what Peggy shrimp is the easiest of all
6:09
proteins to cook okay it's so simple if
6:13
you're going to boil your shrimp uh like
6:16
for a low country ball you know with the
6:18
sausage and the corn and all of that you
6:22
would put those in for the last three
6:24
minutes okay three minutes that's the
6:26
key isn't it right you just want them to
6:28
turn pink
6:30
and if you want to cook them on in your
6:32
on your grill I would I would recommend
6:36
using a skewer or some kind of basket
6:39
you know put them in that and okay
6:42
that's you know idea because you don't
6:43
want to have to turn one little shrimp
6:45
at the time you know you want to be able
6:47
to do it all at one time but there is so
6:50
many easy ways I love to do what I call
6:55
um it's my version of a barbecued shrimp
6:58
but it has nothing to do with barbecue
7:00
sauce well I know it because my daughter
7:02
makes that cuz she lived in New Orleans
7:04
yes she makes that and so how do you do
7:08
yours then Lord honey I can't I can't
7:12
tell you cuz I I okay I finally put it
7:15
together myself cuz I when I was in
7:18

7:20
in this what all's in
7:22
yours you know what I'll just I'll check
7:25

7:26
lived in New Orleans for a number of
7:29
years and and she does make it and it

7:58
can tell you about how did it I start
8:00
with a
8:01
beer okay you know it doesn't matter
8:03
what kind of beer and about three of and
8:06
after I get through drinking that
8:13
I no it goes in the
8:16
pot and then it depends on how many I'm
8:19
cooking for I'll put in two to four
8:22
sticks of real butter okay and I go out
8:26
to my garden and I cut thyme basil and
8:30
oregano okay and I tie those up and I
8:33
throw those in
8:35
there uh I add some olive oil okay olive
