Hey Babe, long time no talk!

I love shrimp!! Your recipe sounds wonderful! Now I'm on a search for some decent shrimp. It's very hard to get those here in central NC.

Hi Harvick:

I am very fortunate to live on the Texas Gulf Coast, we are very proud of our shrimp, they're the best.

The cost of shipping is ridiculous. Or I send ya some.

Gulf Coast jumbo shrimp $5.99, cooler, $2.99, shipping $65.00. The look on my Mom's face in upstate N.Y. when she receives them........priceless.

LOL! She's a lucky, lucky woman! And so are you. I miss the coast! But, when I do find those shrimp, I'll be sure to make the cakes. Thanks.
