In the summertime, people would come around on trucks selling shrimp and oysters. We were always happy for that, because we did not have shrimp and oysters in the country very often. My mother had a way of cooking those shrimp that was so good. If she was ironing clothes when the man came around, she just washed the shrimp, rolled them in cornmeal, and fried them on that iron skillet in the shell—head and all. The recipe below, although the shrimp are peeled, is just as good.
