New subscriber from San Antonio, Texas. I usually bake my shrimp with a little garlic, olive oil and whatever herbs I have on hand. Also I cook the New Orleans way. Never tried with honey but will do so today.

Mate, I never knew they could be caught during the day like that!

What we do in the Gulf of Mexico is tie a rope on a can of cat food and poke holes in it. Then throw it in the water and wait about ten minutes and then cast the net over the can. We get about 100 shrimp each time we pull in the net.

Awesome video! What’s the best way to store them between getting them on the boat and cooking them at home? Is it just ice cold salt water in an esky? How long until they die? Then do you just drain them before you cook them? Also if your prawning at night and not cooking then for another day or two, what’s the best way to store them fresh?

Hey mate, the castnet was build by Merv from Mervs cast nets. His Contact details are at the start of the video or in the description below. Boat run throughs are on the list, not sure when I will film them but they will be in the line up soon!

Sammy,.. l told you to steam them in a salted honey and lime mix.. those little tiddlers .. 4 minutes or if you see air bubbles along the spline meat area under the shell. The real secret is to take them out of the heat and flush them in cold water until they cool down, then drop them into iced salty water.. sweet as, and yeah keep testing them as they chill down, best done with a cold beer or 2 in hand. Whipped up some Madras Curry/ lime juice/ white wine/ Garlic and oil for a pan fried bunch of 15/25 Endeavours for our wraps last night.. l think l won lotto for desert
