some shrimp on the 'barbie'.....

Wife had a bag of shrimp in the fridge, so I fired up the ol' keyhole pit and she skewered them up. Sprinkle on some Old Bay seasoning, squeeze a lemon over them, and on the pit they go!

Yum!

Them some damn good looking Shrimp Scotty....

I have been having trouble finding a good cooking rack (want one to fit pretty good).

After seeing How nice Stax's pit cake out and how he basically designed the cooking pit around the grate he had, I now am after the "ultimate fit"..

This site has caused my OCD to become out of control! Ahhhh...!!

Dex, I welded my grate together out of 3/16" stainless steel rod, but stainless steel expanded metal would be the way to go. They make it in many different gauges, I'd go with something with around 1/2" to 3/4" holes. Look on the web or maybe locally.

Thanks Scotty... That never crossed my mind.

No problem my friend.......it didn't cross my mind either, until AFTER I spent all that time putting all those rods together!!

Hey DEX found one the otherday at Rual King would fit a larger pit

Looks Awesome!

The only place (at least locally for us) that even comes CLOSE to making shrimp that taste this good is Red Lobster, when hey have the endless shrimp special. They do a wood-fired teriyaki skewer that is really good. But these ones from the 'pit were awesome, very easy to make and cooked literally in a matter of around 5 minutes!

Scotty, that reminds me of my trip to Maryland after I met my wife. We went to visit her sister and family (more like I had to run the gauntlet). The second day, we went to a local place and got some shrimp that had been cooked in Old Bay (I think they were steamed). We got enough to fill a very large bowl and my future inlaws watched me eat,.....and eat.....and eat.....
Looking back, they must have thought I was a neanderthal. I'd never had such good shrimp.
Anyway......uh, you suck. But only because I'm jealous.
Very good looking skewered shrimpies.

Good lookin vittles right there. I'm making some steaks tonight....might just have to get some shrimp to keep them company.

Oh man! Flounder? That's one of my faves! I can see some flounder in the keyhole firepit in the very near future Jags!

Jags that sounds fantastic! I will be trying that recipe, thanks for sharing it! You're right that screams summer!

It's defintely easier to get the grid and make the firepit tomatch, than make a firepit and spend the whole summer trying to get a grid. I speak from experience..........

And they are some tasty looking shrimp there

Looks great Scotty, wish I could eat shellfish (allergic). Pic #5 is the one!

I I was picturing something more like this
