Just a small PSA if you live in Northeast Florida, you can get fresh shrimp called “Mayport shrimp“ they come in through our massive naval base port here in Jacksonville and they are quite amazing. So if you’re in this area, ask for them by name at your seafood department
Anyways, like I was saying. Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There’s um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole. Shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp. Shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That’s, that’s about it.
Whole shrimp with the head and shell on sautéed with garlic, lemon, Calabrian chilis and wine until just done then tossed with some fresh parsley and more lemons on the side with fresh beautiful crusty bread to soak up the juices is my favorite way to eat shrimps!
So, in the first weird recipes video, there was a recipe called “Gatorwine” (basically just Gatorade and wine). Throughout the rest of the video after trying it, he kept drinking Gatorwine to get through the weird recipes.
When I was 19 I went to the Bubba Gump location on the Malacon in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (I was young and dumb and Canadian. I am no longer young.), and received coconut shrimp with the shells still on underneath the breading. Picking bits of shell out of my mouth still lives in my nightmares.
In japan we like to grill shrimps, lobsters, clams and scallops with kewpie mayo. Heated mayo gets buttery and the hint of acid gives a more complex flavour to it
a trick we used at a fried chicken restaraunt I worked at: butterfly the shrimp with tails off, put around 5 tablespoons of buttermilk Hidden Valley ranch into a plastic bag, add 5-10 shrimp and toss to coat; add in 3/4 cup or so of seasoned flour (we used the same as we fried our chicken in- flour with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and parsley flakes) and shake in the bag, ensuring coating; dump into a mesh strainer thats big enough to let the chunks out but not the shrimp, and deep fry; was my favorite way to make shrimp, and my amounts may be off, as it was never really measured and it worked by feel
My wife got me your cookbook for Christmas. Lots of great looking stuff in there along with the commentary we've come to expect. Love the content, please keep these sorts of videos coming to help us be better cooks.
My recommendation for the Thai curry, you should fry your curry paste in the top layer of coconut cream from the can and then add the rest of the liquid when it gets that nutty aroma. Additionally you can try to use Keffir lime leaves over lime zest for more authenticity. The My Thai Kitchen curry works fine but for more intense flavor I have always preferred Mae Ploy in the small, single serving cans
I've watched you since middle school , now 23 an watching your videos still with my newborn son. Loves your videos 😅.your truly a Anthony Bourdain to me . Thanks Babish ❤
I feel so sad for all the poor unfortunate souls who can't drive down to shrimp boats and buy live shrimp. There is truly a very noticeable difference with shrimp that have never been frozen, especially when frying. I am glad Basics is back!
I've always appreciated the writing for this show, the production value has steadily increased to a comfortable sweet spot, and the cooking technique has improved greatly over the years.
I'm fortunate enough to live near(ish) one of the best places in the world for fresh prawns. Every year around Christmas a handful of Fish shops around the coastal city of Mooloolaba (and some places nearby who also get prawns from there) has massive lines of people waiting to buy fresh or snap frozen prawns caught that same day. It's a tradition in many parts of Australia to have prawns on Christmas.
1:30 As someone who works at said grocery stores specifically selling seafood, that is NOT medium shrimp. That looks like the same 16/20 count JUMBO shrimp. It actually looks exactly like the Ecuadorian farmed stuff too.
Here is something offbeat that can be done with shrimp (aka Prawns, which is the UK name for them); Put them on a Hawaiian Pizza, with Ham and Pineapple. And before anyone complains, everyone can have their own tastes. They add a sweetness to the sharpness of the pineapple, and the saltiness of the ham. Try it if you don't believe me...
I have been using the same poaching method for bout 20 years and it has yet to let me down. Instead of a shrimp stock I use whole herbs and spices (clove, star anise, bay, celery seed, coriander seeds, black pepper, thyme and allspice) into water with some citrus and a splash of cider vinegar and vigorously boil for about 10 minutes before adding the shrimp off the heat. For the cocktail sauce I always include one or more citrus juices and zests to it and let it sit overnight so the zests release their oils.
Shrimp! I love shrimp. Shrimp cocktail, shrimp scampi, shrimp puffs, shrimp kebob... ... Peanut butter and shrimp sandwiches, shrimp milkshake, shrimp wine... ... Count Shrimpula Cereal, and blueberry pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream a little brown sugar and some shrimp. - Bill Clinton
In Egypt, we can't eat any seafood without Cumin and lemon, I'm sorry but these are the rules, I'm curious what would be your reaction if you taste it 😊
I love shrimp, but I my mom only made salad of it, because she didn't know what she could do with it for dinner. I would be happy if you make video about ways to make calm and maybe other seafood.
this was so neat and brilliant! i loved it for some reason, even though it's like no different to any of your other videos~ maybe i just love all your other ones too xD it was a happy surprise indeed for my new year seeing this on my feed

Two words for you Andrew: MARIE ROSE
So this is your final video of 2024?!
I'm genuinely really happy to see Basics with Babish come back.
Always loved this series, and I've learned a lot.
What bout being?
Being-bought-out by Babish
Same I love these. So helpful!
Love seeing these so much more than the ranking vids
So much better than those "ranking" videos which only really works for Americans, as everything "ranked" is only available in America
You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. Bubba Gump shrimp
I honestly thought this would be a Harder Better Faster Stronger parody. Am disappoint.
A Forrest Gump reference. I see you're a man of culture as well. I for one am NOT disappoint.
Typing out “Dey” feels racist
@@bladewolf39 do you got some shrimping?
@@jakeiverson57 he had a lisp my guy, it's a transcript from the movie
Bubba would be proud if he could see this.
Bubba would be sad to see only 7 ways
Rip Bubba 🙌
Bubba would be ashamed of the sell-out
Mykelti Williamson is still alive and working as an actor tho 🤔
He'd be prouder to see the "bubba" themed episode babish already did

Can you drive them to me, I live in Missouri. I would be willing to give you 5$ for your effort.
NE FL resident here and I concur - Mayport shrimp are excellent and the way to ensure you're getting extra fresh shrimp if you live locally.
My in-laws live on an island off of Charleston SC and prime shrimp season down there is always amazing.
@DaveyDingles I saw a guy couple months ago selling shrimp out the back of a pickup truck in sullivan missouri lol
I’m near Daytona, grew up here and have never heard of mayport shrimp! I’ll have to find some now

On 12/12/12, I was at a restaurant that offered 12 Shrimp cooked 12 Ways. One of the best meals of my life.
Where were you at
@slayr4170 Kemah, Texas, IIR.
@@billadams9986 do you remember what it’s called
the most startling thing about this video was andrew saying 'worcestershire sauce' correctly with no added joke (5:29)
Stop the presses!
It’s pretty played out, so I’m glad he skipped the joke this time
3:23 what if my onion is doing well financially? Will it affect the flavor?
yes, it’ll taste richer
ik im not funny
@@pluffler don't put yourself down that was a top tier dad joke response
@@plufflerNo this is exactly the correct response for this question
two s tier jokes
Day 37 of asking for a video called "Botched by fans" where Andrew tries to fix the suggestions the fans made in "Ranking your strange recipes"
Whole shrimp with the head and shell on sautéed with garlic, lemon, Calabrian chilis and wine until just done then tossed with some fresh parsley and more lemons on the side with fresh beautiful crusty bread to soak up the juices is my favorite way to eat shrimps!
The perfect pairing for shrimp cocktail? Gatorwine I suppose
Someone explain this gatorwine thing.
@@hantehsanyall Gatorade and wine, what's there to not get?
@@hantehsanyall Watch the videos about people submitting their own snack recipes to be ranked. And there's a whole gatorwine video too.
So, in the first weird recipes video, there was a recipe called “Gatorwine” (basically just Gatorade and wine). Throughout the rest of the video after trying it, he kept drinking Gatorwine to get through the weird recipes.
@@hantehsanyallAndrew made exactly one video to go viral in the past 3 years.
Happy new year Babish
Watching this video at 9am despite my shellfish allergy just so I can know exactly what I’m missing out on 😭
I'm allergic to shrimp why am I even watching this
same bro
Morbid curiosity?
Basics is back AND Babish is almost pronouncing Worcestershire correctly? It's a holiday miracle
Shrimps are amazing! Bubba taught us so many things to do with them🍤🍤🍤🍤
Years later and the intro and opening music are so nostalgic, please never change em

We’re so close to a full-on Forest Gump shrimp special. I’m so ready.
He actually did do one a few years back; it's a two-parter

The leaves in the middle of the celery are the best tasting part!

Day 29 of asking for a Botched by Babish on the Swedish Meatballs and Full English Breakfast episodes (Happy New Year!)
Happy new year, babish. Since its a new year, im request a new series. Banged by Babish.
The timing on this episode couldn’t be more perfect. My local grocery store had shrimp on sale and I purchased 2 packages lol
Happy New Year ❤
I've always appreciated the writing for this show, the production value has steadily increased to a comfortable sweet spot, and the cooking technique has improved greatly over the years.
shrimply having a happy new year
Yum. I love shrimp. 🍤 😋 ❤❤❤ Happy New Years everyone 🥳🎉🎊✨️🤗😘❤️
So we've switched now to massive whisks? Seriously, how big was that whisk in that small bowl @12:20. Very hilarious.
I was hoping for a Bubba Shrimp Part III episode.
Anyways, Happy New Year Babish!

Man it's been a minute since we've had a Basics!
1:31 thats a LARGE shrimp
He lives on the east coast, makes sense to me. Seafood is probably way cheaper than center of the U.S, and most likely of better quality as well.
that pasta may be the best looking shrimp pasta I've ever seen. loved this episode of basics mr babby!
Perfect timing because I wanted to start playing around with shrimp in the kitchen more this year.
I look forward to making new dishes for myself… this will be at the top of my list. Thankyou!
🎊Merry New Year to you and the team!

i am in love with shrimp
Scrimp is love
huge fan of basics with babish
I just bought a bag of frozen shrimp yesterday on a whim, this is very convenient.
Babish peeling prawns was 🔥
whole shrimp head on with starch salt pepper style is one of my favorites
lil late for christmas guess we can call it a new year’s miracle to see basics back
Here is something offbeat that can be done with shrimp (aka Prawns, which is the UK name for them);
Put them on a Hawaiian Pizza, with Ham and Pineapple.
And before anyone complains, everyone can have their own tastes.
They add a sweetness to the sharpness of the pineapple, and the saltiness of the ham.
Try it if you don't believe me...
Classic Babish video. This is why I subscribed. Keep this coming.
Even though I have a shellfish allergy it's still nice to come and learn ❤
Always happy to see cooking instead of ranking 🎉
As an employee of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. I support this message.
Great shrimp video.
The video starts at 0:40 for those who want it.
I am allergic to shrimp so we will see if we can survive today.

I butterfly with scissors, also works for deveining. Fast and safe
Happy New Year Andrew!
You know how long I’ve been waitin for dis?
I was looking for some seafood recipes. Thank you
One of my favorite Shrimp recipes is ebichiri
Could you do more curry recipes
5:37 In a robotic voice "Would. You. Like. A. Mimosa?"
8:16 Reminds me of a Puppy.
He’s back!!!! I miss these episodes!
Heyy, basics is back!
Could you rate salad dressing?
Eyyy a new basics! It’s been so longs so happy to see this
Call them prawns and we are talking great tips for Australian summer

Dude!!! Yum yum yum!!! Scrimps are my Jammie jammmm!! Love the vid!
Ooh nice even though I am not a huge fan of shrimp
Watching this between audiobooks to cleanse my mind. And now I'm hungry
What about baking them in garlic lemon butter?
Thanks for all the cooking advice this year. Looking forward to the flavors 2025 will bring.
reminds me of the Bubba's shrimp episode
man time passes by so quickly
YES! SHRAMPS!
I love shrimp, but I my mom only made salad of it, because she didn't know what she could do with it for dinner. I would be happy if you make video about ways to make calm and maybe other seafood.
More Basics! Missed this.
You can peel shrimps more easily by using scissors and cutting along the back
Hey Babish, hope all is well
I always have a lemon grass lying around. Also, where are you getting all this ice from?
Hooray for shrimp
I wish these meal companies would ship to Alaska. I understand why they don't, though.
What about white wine with the shrimp?
which one do i use for the 6 dollar srimp special
this was so neat and brilliant! i loved it for some reason, even though it's like no different to any of your other videos~ maybe i just love all your other ones too xD it was a happy surprise indeed for my new year seeing this on my feed
Was kind of expecting to see steamed shrimp on here, as it's fairly simple and ends up less rubbery than poaching.
Just in time for my last minute NYE party scrambling!
What is the song at 2:14
