Ingredients
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Coat a cast iron skillet with shortening or spray.
Use cold flour, and for the best biscuits. Put the flour into a bowl cut the very cold butter into slices and toss in the flour. Using a fork, cut butter into flour until it is crumbly. Add cold buttermilk and mix very lightly.
Put a bit of flour on countertop and scoop dough out. Sprinkle a bit of flour over the top and gently push together to form a rectangle. Fluffy and light biscuit comes from keeping the dough cold and not handling it too much. The heat from your hands will melt the butter, so use a gentle and soft touch because you do not want your dough to get warm!
Take the dough and fold, press down into a rectangle and repeat. Repeat this folding once more and pat into desired thickness, usually about an inch. This creates flaky layers in the biscuits.
Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a small glass, cut into rounds. You'll want a cutter or a glass that measures about 3 inches across. Place biscuit into skillet and bake at 500 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Grill on medium heat for two to three minutes, until shrimp has turned a pink color and appears mostly done.

***Great with Maine Chefs Cocktail Sauce, Maine Chefs Keylime Garlic Tartar
Sauce, or Maine Chefs Peppercorn & Chive Aioli.
Aioli is a mixture resembling mayonnaise. It originates from Provençal cuisine, where it is served with meat, fish, and vegetables, and the distinctive garlicky sauce.
It has also been adopted by other nations to add zest to otherwise ordinary foods. Although classic Aioli contains only garlic, many modern updates on the classic sauce include other ingredients.
Aioli can be turned into a relish with the addition of pickled vegetables, or made spicy with peppers.
Some experimental Southwestern cooks use chipotle pepper Aioli in their cuisine, while fans of fish and chips may choose to eat them with an Aioli which is similar to tartar sauce.
