Shrimp Recipes

[DeagonTheo]

Anyone got any good Shrimp recipes. No not really.

I'm from beautiful Brisbane but the weather is getting a little bit warm here lately, over 30 for the last few days. I'm getting a bit worried about my CRS the tank temperature is 26.5 degrees! how much can these little blighters take.

What do people do besides air conditioning and ice filled bottles in the water.

It has been warm that last few days, most people use small chillers but if you are chilling multiple tanks then your best off with AC & bottles of frozen water are definitely a cheap effective option for multiple tanks. :encouragement:

I wouldn't let the temp get much higher, you will probably start seeing adverse effects on your shrimp. :dejection:

I know it's getting pretty bad and this is only the start of Spring, I'm hoping it will cool down a bit shortly because I've got a couple of preggers CRS and I don't want to lose the little Shrimpies.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, garlic, red pepper flakes and shrimp.

LOL! but how many of us will just eat it without the shrimp or give up when it is time to prep the shrimp?

Recipe looks good, BUT not keen on getting my BB legs stuck between my teeth ... :p

A/C the room...adds comfort to you and the shrimp... it'll work out to be a cheaper alternative, espacially once you've built you rack.....and don;t say never :-)

It's a fish breeding room, I've already had racks and sumps. Now I just have some giant tanks which I don't have to worry about as they contain Discus and Fronnies etc. I might have to drill a hole in the side of the fridge and run some tubing through it just for the CRS. Or stick them in a goldfish bowl and put them in the fridge.

I might have to look at that recipe if it gets any warmer, looks delicious.
