What a good idea.... I was just in the middle of typing this Chile Relleno recipe for a friend... enjoy!

BBQ Shrimp

In the Gulf of Mexico we usually get white and brown shrimp, but on the East Coast there are also the pink the Royal Red shrimp, the latter which tastes almost like spiny lobster (crawdads). Indeed, they are called

There is alot of flexibility with this recipe, so I will give very general portions and several options. Hard to make this properly if you don't have access to really good Bahama Bread!

Use crabmeat, lobster, or any flaky white fish (snapper, grouper, etc.).
(Great use for leftovers), or combination of any of these.

Mix in with above: Mayonnaise, onion, lemon or lime, spices of choice, a little hot sauce. Mix together to consistency of tuna salad.

Dollop a big scoop of the mixture onto a nice thick slice of pre-toasted (lightly) Bahama bread (preferably coconut), stick into a toaster oven for about 4-5 minutes, until starting to bubble. Pull back out, put a slice of your favorite cheese on top, back into toaster oven to get cheese melted, and Voila!

We put this concoction together last trip to Guana, when we had caught a very sizable red grouper, and also had some crabmeat. We used these two together, and a piece off cheddar cheese.
