Your shrimp sounds good... BTW what's in the Fiesta chicken fajita
seasoning? Don't get that brand here... Looks like the fry daddy is
being put to good use?

Yes agreed. We had 15 Tiger prawns as part of my birthday lunch that
weighed in at 800g with shells. They were very big prawns It was worth
the price we paid which was about US$15... Dunno if that's expensive to
you or not? What we have also noticed is that they taste better if
cooked in the shells when done on the gas "skottle" or on "sticks" on
the charcoal braai. Small shrimp are pretty tasteless IMO, but add a
nice texture in a salad or with fried rice.
