Part of supper tonight

First, I took fresh large Gulf shrimp and soaked them in brine overnight, along with some Old Bay and a few secret ingredients.  Then this evening, I grilled them indirectly, over mesquite coals for ~8 minutes.

They had that taste and texture you can only get from fresh, never frozen, shrimp.  The brine and spices gave them a wonderful, spicy flavor on top of that.  The mesquite coals sealed the deal, making these something to write home about.

Bitey the cat was going absolutely crazy when I brought them back in, so he got about 1/2 of one.  He is sleeping that off as I post this.
