I vote for Bajaandy's receipe! Keep it simple. Failed to mention that you need an adequate supply of tequila as you're SUPPOSED to have a couple of shots along with some leftover limes and some salt while everything's cooking.




Just do it!

Shrimp fishing has high bicatch mortality

I used to like shrimp, but now have problems eating it on moral grounds. Shrimp fishing in SOC has some of the highest bicatch destruction of all fisheries. Shrimpers claim it is 4 pounds bicatch per pound of shrimp. Environmentalists claim it is 10 pounds bicatch per pound of shrimp. Either way, the bicatch destruction is really quite bad. If you love the SOC fishing, don't support fish kills by buying shrimp until they change their methods. :(:(

Well, with exception to environmentalists who overzealously make statements like that I will concede that shrimp draggers do do conciderable damge to the seafloor.
I am quite aware of what bthis method of harvest does and I am opposed to commercial dragging nearshore.
On my last visit to Mulege I photographed several Guaymas trawlers harvesting shrimp in close to shore.
The new NORMA law is supposed to address the taking of shark in these waters and prohibit bycatch of them. Of course that simply means they either take a chance and keep them or toss em back and exact a high mortality rate.
The ineffectiveness of the Navy to enforce the SOC invites more of the same. The risk of getting caught is low.
With that said, don't forget the "other " shrimpers out there. The little guys who work the depths use other non-seafloor damaging apparatus to harvest shrimp. I believe most shrimp sold locally are caught in this manner.

New beach tested recipe: Coyote Grilled Prawns


I was camping with some buddies at Coyote and found a great way to do those monstro camerones.

Using a propane Coleman grill I was teased into making a meal with the shrimp. Sort of a challenge I suppose.

What I did was this: I split and butterflied the shrimp and removed the vein and rinsed them leaving the shell on.

Next I took some teriyaki glaze and poured just a wee bit unto the flesh exposed side.

Heat a non-stick pan with little butter or oil to med hi and place flesh side down, cook only one minute then remove to a plate.

Remove pan and fire up the grill to medium hi. Place prawns SHELL down on grill and cook until bright red with black charring, perhaps only another minute or less.

Remove to serve.


These babies were the big hit. I served them up with sticky rice, steamed local zuchini and beer.

:spingrin::yes::spingrin:Be prepared to serve many!
