i tried these new shrimpies since they were on sale, still 5$ though, ouch. they were very good, i overcooked them a bit but still delish. paired them with reduced sodium zatarain's jambalaya which i'm obsessed with, it was also on sale.
here's the finished product. i finally found an eggplant that seemed like a nice one. forgot to check if it was male/female b/c the males apparently have more seeds and are bitter. it didn't really matter though b/c i totally f'd them up, somehow. i followed all the directions i found online, brush with olive oil, s&p and grill 5 minutes each side. i used the george foreman and they turned to complete mush, nearly inedible. i don't think i liked the taste anyways, kinda like warm cucumber but we may try them again later. i got some tips from FB friends so we shall see.
