You know, you're on to something. If my 6 year old had a relentless request for shrimp scampi, it would be met by peals of laughter, an effort to contain myself, then a hand on his shoulder and a "Great! Are you buying?"

Isn't shrimp very low in calories? Scampi isn't fried, either. And isn't it expensive for a town supposedly suffering from dire poverty?

A bag of salad shrimp ($2.99), a little butter, garlic and parsley. Bingo. Serve it on a bed of greens and you have a nice healthy cheap meal for an adult and a kid.

Cheaper then fast food and ready in about the same amount of time.
