I guess it depends on how good the friends are. I do agree with Sheldon that
shell-on shrimp are better for grilling than shelled shrimp, and good
friends don't mind eating messily. Even so, Singapore chile crab is a LOT
messier, and I remember someone here mentioning that they'd made it for a
dinner party.

I'm sure you DID impress. That's a LOT of food, and it all looks
mouth-watering.

Next time try this: Splay the chicken thighs outward and put the ear of corn
in between. (Why should Christine have the only pornographic chicken photo?)
