I sell shrimp as a little side hustle and while working on that yesterday a guy came up and wanted $60 dollars worth and then he said "do you mind if I pay you with quarters?" I burst into laughter and explained to him that my daughter and I just started collecting coins! we didn't have any silvers but we filled up a good portion of one of our quarters books! It was fun!

Are they heads on or off, and how much you charging by the pound? I sure love me some shrimp, but I get mine in the fall when the big green tails start running in the river here in eastern N.C. 8-12 counts in early October, I can hardly wait! Oh, and nice job on the quarter haul.

Being an old Savannah boy now in the NE, we still love shrimp, any way you want to cook em.
Do you deliver?

Tim they are 10-15's. I did 5 counts and they all came out 13. $6 bucks a pound. @ Southsav - I stuff them with Cream cheese and a slice of pepper and wrap them with bacon and grill them! Love it! And I will deliver if the price is right! LOL!

You don't throw a 'shrimp' on the barbie, as Paul Hogan has suggested, it is 'prawns!
Try peeled prawns dipped in a thin egg / flour batter, and deep fry them. Drizzle one or two drops of lemon juice on each before eating. They are YUM!
What you least expect: Certainly not a recipe!

Wow what a coincidence. July 4 weekend my son and I put some Jalepenos on the grill that way for the first time.
Slice em, dig out the guts, fill with cream cheese and little weiners, or second batch we uses ground pork and hamburger with the cream cheese, wrap in bacon and toothpick closed. Um Um. the pork ones were better. I'm gonna try the shrimp.

I worked a cash register a few years back. Thankfully, I didn't check him out, but a guy had a Crown Royal bag with about 300 Sacagaweas! We started calling him the "pirate" with his hoard of "gold" coins. He said he worked at a gas station and asked his boss to pay him with all the ones that came in.

Seeing as you are new to coins
Do you have many Australian coins?
I am looking for a hobby coin collector to swap coins with.

southsav:
If you are going to try the prawns, after you shell them, remove the black tendon down their back, so you have white meat only. Pre cook them unshelled, if they are not already sold cooked.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrawnCheck out the wiki link above for an explanation between shrimps and prawns. It seems to depend on where in the world you live. Here in Thailand the restaurants use both terms. Shrimps for little ones (in salads and soups,) prawns for the bigger ones that go on the barbie. And some of the largest ones are a meal in themselves, sort of a lobster without the claws!
