Saturday Ribs, Turkey & Shrimp

[TimBear]

Friday night I was thinking about what to do for dinner on Saturday; the wife was up in Big Bear with her girlfriends for the weekend. So me and the boys were on our own and spareribs came to mind.
So I headed to the store and picked up a couple racks of ribs, a half a turkey breast and some cooked shrimp for a salad.

I made a Shrimp Pico de Gallo salad, and a tossed green salad to accompany the ribs and turkey.
I did the ribs on the 22" bullet for about 5 hours at 225*; just enough so they were tender, but not falling off the bone tender; they had some bite to them. I used mesquite for the smoke.

Sorry nice sliced pics of the turkey breast; it was killer. The kids at that first and pretty much left nothin but a rib cage. LOL

The ribs looked fine TB and I really like shrimpo de gallo salad.

I don't see how anybody now can feel sorry for you when your wife goes off and leaves you with the boys. That meal is a killer.

I'm with Griff, I like the ribs, but that salad is killer... SHRIMP!

Hope you got the boys involved in the cook. At some point you can let them do the cooking for you as you have a cold one and direct the process....Great pics we always love to see them.

I was feel'n bad at first cause the salad just pops out and says "eat me!", ribs look great but are shadowed by the shrimp salad! I thought I was turn'n veg until I read that others felt the same.

Is the shrimp pico de gallo salad just ....that, shrimp added to pico de gallo? I gotta try that out.
