Shrimp
While local shrimp are available, we wanted to include some additional recipes that use shrimp in interesting ways. Finding the recipes wasn't a problem, but coming up with something "profound" to say about shrimp presented more of a challenge. A reasonable solution seemed to be a quick tour of the World-Wide Web. The Alta Vista search engine immediately turned up 88,066 references that included the word "shrimp". Admittedly, we only looked at the first thirty or forty, but we found everything from recipes (some of which sound well worth trying), to the lyrics for Dead Shrimp Blues by Robert Johnson, to a shrimp tutorial (all about the commodities market) to a site entitled "shrimp for sale by the shipping container". We don't know how you feel about cleaning shrimp, but the idea of a shipping container of shrimp was overwhelming.
We'll just forget about providing any new information on shrimp and supply the recipes. The peppery garlic shrimp comes from a May 1992 Bon Appetit, while the baked shrimp with feta is from a May 1988 issue.
