should brought some corals with you with all the light! and a PAR meter!
 
ironically I think I now want baked stuffed shrimp. 🥹
Ironically I grabbed some beer battered shrimp when I was getting ground turkey at the grocery store and made homemade cocktail sauce from a recipe on line. Next time I’m going to double the amount of horseradish though.
 
@kingranch2003 here you go! Sorry some of them aren't super clear my hands shake

Wowza, beautiful Amanda! We need a full DT pic so we can see all the colors popping all at once!
Right now all the new ones are still on the sand negate I'm waiting for my coral epoxy stuff but I will get you one.

if you nose doesn't run, it's not spicy enough. battered I usually prefer tartar, steamed - cocktail, stuffed - melted butter. stuffed the only way to go is to use crushed ritz crackers. boy does it make a difference.
