21 Drunken Head On Shrimp
Feb 19
Picked up these local head on shrimp, they are about 1 ½ inch long pretty small and some are female with the roe which I love. So I prepared these as I have eaten many times in Asia except I decided they needed a drink or Bourbon first….check it out, these guys are like crunchy fish fries.
I like these little guys with the roe on them and the shell. It crisps up nice is crunchy and completely edible. You can remove the shell if you prefer but all of it is good to eat.

Passion for healthy amazing food. I am on crusade to get kids eat better and people in general learning how to cook for themselves. If I here that McDonald's is cheaper than eating homemade I will prove anyone wrong.

I will be making this soon, and will share with you my success...
