Shrimp 4 Ways

Last year on our way to the Outer Banks for vacation we stopped in Chincoteague to see my Uncle Pat & Mike.  They made us an awesome dinner that we still talk about whenever we see them... shrimp 3 ways with some awesome french fries.   So that was the inspiration for our dinner tonight.   Jo brought some shrimp home from work and we worked with the ingredients on hand to make shrimp 4 ways (had to go the extra step):


The 4 Ways = fried, garlic & parm, bang bang, and traditional.

New to the kitchen, the fry daddy made fried shrimp an obvious choice.

For dipping we made a really easy but unique cocktail sauce.  Ketchup is the base and then lemon, fresh ginger, soy sauce, serrano pepper, pepper, salt and cilantro are added in.... thrown in the fridge for an hour and then it is ready.
