The 2nd Annual NuWo Shrimpdig has morphed out of JWo’s involvement with his waterfowl group here in Missouri. Let it never be said I don’t give props where props is due. One of his fellow members hosted a crawdad\/shrimp boil a couple years ago, and not only did JWo come home raving about it, he showed me PICTURES. So, green with envy, I insisted we have one, too. And the bonus part about this fellow member in his group? The dude works at a seafood distributor here in town, so we get a hell of a deal. And the distributor has some of the best restaurants in town as clients, including a favored sushi place, so we knooooow we’re gettin’ good stuff. And yummy good it is. Last year, we had a whopping ten people partake, this year, we tripled our numbers. We ask for $10\/person to shave some of our costs – that gets you non-alcoholic beverages, red potatoes & corn (this Iowa gal shucked ALL 35 ears) and it’s all-you-can-snarf 22-count\/lb shrimp & seasoned crawdads. If you wanna bring a side dish, or dessert, the crowd thanks and loves you. No biggie if you don’t. The upside\/downside this year was how damned chilly it got – we love cooler weather, but it was downright COLD when the sun went down, and poor Kristin was trying to knit & I was thinking her needles might just freeze right onto her hands if she didn’t stop.<\/p>\n

I shortened the name from “Shrimp Shindig” to “Shrimpdig” because it’s just as descriptive & more succinct. And while I always think I’m gonna eat two pounds of shrimp, it never fails – I get full. Damn MommaLinda’s sweet cornbread. I share her recipe with you, and if you want to just slap the ingredients right on your hips, you can skip the whole metabolic process. I also give you – one happy, shrimp-eatin’ JWo. And some other party pix.<\/p>\n

Momma Linda’s Decadent Cornbread Recipe<\/p>\n
