Any recipe for blue crab is a specialty here in Maryland, particularly on the Chesapeake Bay.
I suppose it is a holdover from our English forebearers -- many Southerners omit the "h" in the word "shrimp", pronouncing it "srimp". It always makes me smile when I hear that.
Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. Dey'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. That- that's about it.
You know what does NOT make me smile?
People who pronounce it “scrimp.”
That makes me want to start a hearty round of pimp-slapping.
