food What was the last spicy meal you cooked?

Nah JayT i dont eat them. Usually, though not this time, i will save the shells and heads to make up a prawn stock, which i can freeze for later use.
 
Geeme has gotten pork chops on my brain... so im going out to buy some later
 
LOL - geeme: influencing people on the other side of the globe!  :D
 
Maybe we should start a poll: Do you….
a) eat the heads of shrimp
b) suck the heads of crawfish (mostly a Louisiana and eastern Texas 'thang)
c) eat the tails of shrimp and crawfish (referring only to the uropods and telsons)
d) eat only the abdominal and claw meat of shrimp and crawfish
 
I am not a fan of any except d. I never got why anyone would actually eat the tails, and was totally confounded when someone seriously told me that was their favorite part. Eating/sucking the heads…. ew. Ew.

I always eat some of the tails, a lot of flavor there. I don't eat all of the tails, mostly a texture thing.
 
 sunny side eggs over a potato ,chorizo , onion ,orange  bell pepper hash.  The jumpy jay's  has great jalapeno flavour but pretty low spice level.  I didn't put it on till after the first 2 pics because honestly it has a exorcist green vibe to it , if you know what I mean.

I can't eat shellfish any more due to a developed allergy but when I was a kid in Arizona my dad would take me up into the mountains of flagstaff and we would catch lots of crawdads in the crystal clear streams. we would sit in his truck and just snap the tails off and scoop out the meat and eat them raw. Was fantastic, I remember it being icy cold and refreshing. 
 
I love meals like that,  growing up a good family friend would throw stuff on his stove before we would go out hunting.  Whatever he had caught earlier, rabbit 4  stew etc,   It was awesome coming back and digging in to that.
