Being raised in a Catholic home so many years ago, on Friday the main course was always fish, at school (even though I did not go to a Catholic school) and at home. One of my favorite seafoods was and still is shrimp. Mother, being a Georgia peach from Savannah knew so many wonderful ways to prepare shrimp as well as other seafoods. This was one of her go to meals when she was in a hurry or needed to stretch the main course to feed my 5 hungry brothers, daddy, herself and me. You can always add another cup of rice. Add a salad and some bread and you have a grand meal in a little bit of time, with minimal effort.
