shrimp is the fruit of the sea.
You can barbecue it,
boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it.
There's shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole,
shrimp gumbo, pan fried,
deep fried, stir fried.
There's pineapple shrimp
and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp,
pepper shrimp,
shrimp soup, shrimp stew,
shrimp salad, shrimp in potatoes,
shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.
