This was about 10:00 last night. Right now at 5:30am it looks much the same. Burning through charcoal pretty fast because of the weather. November snow in Tennessee.

I came across this pickled shrimp dish a couple months back and just now had a chance to make it.
I've been really intrigued with this.
I've been to Hawaii several times but never came across it. Or maybe I did when I was at this liquor store/poke shop on Maui called Tamuras that had a shit ton of options. Dang it.
It's a mix of dried shrimp, dried cuttlefish or squid, seaweed, onions, tomatoes in a vinegar shoyu
marinade.
All I had were the small dried shrimp that I use in Thai cooking but it calls for the larger ones and I can get those. You can make it a bit sweet if you want or a bit spicy. I did it just a tad sweet. I might add some chilis.
I haven't found evidence yet but this has got to be Japanese influenced. Delicious.
This might be a good source for larger dried shrimp.

Last post by Pissy - November 21, 2024, 12:38:51 PMButts trimmed, soaking in brine for tonight's cook.
I learned today that a typical coleman cooler is right on in size to contain 10 Boston Butts, and the brine to cover them. I also learned that a 3lb box of kosher salt, a 2lb bag of brown sugar and a 5 gallon bucket full of water is the perfect way to make a large batch of brine, instead of measuring out the salt and sugar. It just happens to come out right, a little shy on the sugar, but that isn't a concern at all.
There's 10 butts in there. It's 38° outside with a snow threat in the forecast. So it's perfect for this.
