Ingredients:

1 cup self-rising flour

1 cup self-rising corn meal

1 medium sized sweet onion, chopped

1 medium sized bell pepper, chopped

A pinch of sugar

1 egg

Enough milk to make the batter stick to the spoon - not thick, but not runny

A dash of salt and pepper

1 lb shrimp

Directions:

Mix ingredients in a bowl, roll shrimp in batter and fry in grease at about 350 degrees.  Lightly brown shrimp on both sides.

Serve with Magwood's sauce - 50-percent mayonnaise, 50-percent ketchup and a dash of hot sauce.

The update:

Slow and steady goes the pace for the Winds of Fortune. Captain Magwood burned a little more fuel last week then he expected, but catches remain strong and he hauled in 1,200 pounds of brown shrimp last Wednesday.

Prices:

Brown Shrimp

Head on: $2.50 lb

Head off: $5 lb (40-50 count)

Jumbo Shrimp

Head off: $7.50 lb (26-30 count)
