Here in Florida we take those big shrimp and butterfly them like you do but put some finely minced clams and a little bit of caviar in them. Put them in the oven for about 15-20 mins at 350 degrees with some garlic butter over them and serve with some cheese toast points! Mmmmmmmm👍👍

[@spadebraithwaite1762]

I used to be the manager of a hotel in Costa Rica, dream-gig, and every evening I'd go beach casting. I'd use a throw net in the estuary to catch mullet for bait. One evening I caught a lot of tiny shrimp, so I used them as bait. I caught more fish than the rest of the year. Mostly pompano, but snapper and snook. The predator fish knew the shrimp were running. It was a good evening.

[@nunnadismattas5225]

What a banger of a video Sammy, I can't wait to visit someday and try this out for myself.

[@jedtaylor3551]

got a shrimp and grits recipe you could try but I'd probably have to explain grits and send you some but nothing beats shrimp or as you call them prawns Time for a Mass quantities night of fried shrimp this weekend My wife and I normally eat over 100 lbs a year as the coastal marsh on the east coast of Ga produces masses of these tasty treats each year Shrimp in the 30 per lb are the primary bait for everything else good times for you enjoyed the vid

Thanks for the recipe sammy, my wife doesn't eat pork so I substituted it for beef and turned out a treat. Also if you do it in an air fryer knock 10c off and about 8min is a good amount of time

Prawns this fresh can be really good with a simple grill, you split it in half and put some canola oil, diced garlic, a touch of salt and a bunch of cooked thin rice noodles on top. Sprinkle with spring onion choppings, absolutely delicious.

I love a feed of prawns , but there is no way I would get amongst that flotilla of boats in a 100 years ! the agro I have seen from a distance over a crustacean has to be seen to be believed. A lot of crab pots been stolen in the Redcliffe area recently just as a side note . Great recipe mate 👍 cheers 🍻

The problem with nudgee is when you start getting good prawns the trawlers find out and come through and absolutely clean it out night after night until there's nothing left

[@CaptainBax]

Epic session on the prawns there Sammy, I remember when I worked on Trawlers out of Shorncliffe, it would take us all night to get a bucket of prawns at times. The good thing about cast nets is you're not getting all that by-catch of jelly fish, mantis shrimp,, happy moments and squid that we use to get. Those bloody sea lice constantly getting in eyes and all over you when you emptied the nets on the sorting table would drive you nuts. I think you knocked it out of the park with that recipe, Shawn and Sammy cook offs will be more like the Cook and the Chief from now on (lol).

[@ducksinmyhearttaylor3957]

Can you do a video on those nets. In the US I have never seen nets like them before. Are they designed just for catching shrimp? I notice you empty it from the top. Never seen anything like that

[@systemsrenegade9888]

Sorry to be a pain in the backside but i hope you are eating all the prawns you catch that day before going out to catch more as the fisheries stipulate that ,(The following legal limits apply to fish / prawns taken in Queensland waters. A bag limit (take and possession limit) is the total number of fish / prawns that one person can legally take and keep at any one time.) this also covers the amount in your fridge or freezer at home . A friend of mine got done for taking and possessing to many prawns at one time due to having 8 kg at home and 6.5 kg in his boat which worked out to be more than the 10 litre limit .

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hey mate, not a pain at all! I did actually have a big feed of fresh prawns that first night, but besides that in my house I have 3 people in my family. Meaning we are allowed 3 bag limits of recreationally caught prawns in our possession at our place of residence. So with even without eating a single prawn fresh we would still be well and truly under our limit of prawns by more then half. At no point in time did I take more then my personal bag limit on any day or in any session. Appreciate your concern though 🍻🍻

[@systemsrenegade9888]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing be careful with that as they have to be able to throw a net to prove they caught them i know I'm being picky but in Bundy they really cracked down on this as people were taking friends out in their boat to up the bag limit and were told by the fisheries they could be done if they could not throw a net ( they class the thrower of the net as the person for the bag limit just like crabs and crab pots . the person with the name on the pot has to be in the boat at the time of capture ) , just trying to save your backside if they want to get uppity and enforce the laws on you .
