boiled shrimp and crabs leftover---now what?

[markinhouston]

We went to a shrimp boil last night, and the host presented me with a bagful of cooked crabs and head-on shrimp. I first thought of making a creole sauce and then just warming up the seafood before serving, but then I started to reconsider. Should I peel the shrimp, recover as much crab meat as possible, and then use the carcasses for stock. Eat the boiled shrimp cold as is, maybe with some remoulade sauce? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks.

Mark, I would definitely enjoy it cold. This green mayonnaise was a bit hit this summer..

or cold spring rolls with lemon grass, sesame oil, etc.

Thanks, Joe, this looks great. I weighed my shrimp, and I have enough..

for both cold with mayonnaise and a batch of Creole. The best of both worlds!

Mark, for something different look at the Spicy Shrimp Salad I just posted under menus in T&T

It has mangoes, grapes and a very good sweet and sour coconut vinaigrette- a very good way to use up cooked shrimp.
