I love shrimp fried in garlic and smothered over a nice medium rare steak.
Shrimp is one of my favorite foods, in fact having some tonight. Feel bad for those who cant eat it because of allergies.

Ohhhh, tonight, shrimp served on a platter. First, marinated, coated in flour, pan fried in butter and served warm with avocado slices between two thick slices of warm, home made bread. (Tis good like this over noodles too, or with rice) Yum!

Srimp in Australian terminology are very small. We eat what we call prawns, and half a dozen of them is a fair sized meal. I love them heavily marinated in butter and garlic with olive oil done in a wok very quickly.
Yum! - 92

Yum!Yum! You bring the shrimp, and I'll bring the chocolate covered bananas! Do you like your peanuts roasted, crushed and rolled with a bit of sugar???

LOL..how about lagastenos ..I know it ain't spelled right..lol. I just know they are delicious o, dripping in butter and garlic sauce. I am making myself hungry. Me thinks I need to go buy some tomorrow shrimp that is.
I always viewed shrimp as bugs of the sea...just with a less crunchy texture than the land lovin' type.
I might as well bite into a fat ol' grasshopper (but, they have a pungent odor so I'll pass).
So, as you may assume, not my cup of tea nor was sea food ever.
Felt like breaking the flow of posts on shrimp and its 'yumminess,' yo.- 93

Is shrimp the same as prawn? We have a large prawn here called a banana prawn, they are huge and delicious.

Don't be afraid of cholesterol in shrimp. Shrimp is high in the "good cholesterol". See link and excerpt below.
http://www.foodmarketexchange.com/datac … drains.htm
We now know that the amount of cholesterol in shrimp is approximately 130 mg per 3 oz of raw shrimp, or about 12 large shrimp, and with only 2 grams of fat. The amount of cholesterol in a comparable portion of regular ground beef is about 110 mg, with approximately 20 grams of fat. And shrimp have high levels of beneficial highly unsaturated fatty acids, which raise HDL cholesterol levels, so eating shrimp may actually lower blood cholesterol levels.
