They's lemon shrimp, fried shrimp, shrimp cocktail....
When I was in the USN down in Florida back in the Seventies, I went with a few guys to a seafood place known for its “all you can eat” aspect.
Well, one thing led to another, and soon we were having a contest to see who could eat the most shrimp. Not how fast, but how much.
Well, I love shrimp. This was heaven. I had already eaten a few fried one, then began eating steamed or boiled ones.
It was awful. I was in so much discomfort, I had to lay flat in the back of that little Datsun pickup truck all the way back to the base.
I couldn’t eat shrimp for many years. I was so angry at myself for doing that, ruining my love for shrimp. That was the last time I ever did that. Just stupid.
However, I was able to eventually regain my appetite for it...thank goodness.
I do love shrimp.
with shrimp I hear that:
“You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.”
