It’s National Shrimp Day!
I really had to exclaim that because shrimp is a favorite over here. Like I have mentioned many times before, we are seafood lovers and if we go out and eat, there is almost always a seafood dish on our table. Like when we went to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., etc.
I specifically love this grilled shrimp at our favorite steakhouse and I love the shrimp fried rice at our go-to Chinese restaurant. Whenever it’s a hectic day and the best thing to do is grab a takeout, it’s always a shrimp dish for me and nothing else.
I have shared shrimp recipes here in the blog before and you can find the links to those recipes below. I have also shared a Garlic Shrimp recipe which is so good.
Shrimp & Sausage Skillet Paleo
Before the Asian Market opened here in Asheville, I just used shrimp in packs from the supermarkets here which were already peeled and deveined. Back in the Philippines, shrimp is so fresh that every part of their body is intact, shells, head and all. And we cook them like that.
I had to make use of what the supermarkets here offer when it comes to shrimp. That’s why I am so thankful for the Asian Market because they sell shrimp like what we have back home. Nom!
Too bad I didn’t know it’s National Shrimp Day until earlier today so I didn’t get to grab some shrimp from the Asian Market. But a shrimp dish is coming on the menu next week, for sure. It’s not bad to celebrate a little later, right? Or maybe we’ll grab some takeout today too and I’ll get me my favorite shrimp fried rice from the Chinese restaurant. We’ll see. 🙂
How about you? Do you like shrimp too?
