But just don't think about it when you're eating them. Just close your eys and enjoy their delicate flavour.ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-75418938467425596252009-11-04T09:48:41.317+01:002009-11-04T09:48:41.317+01:00Martine - the wording of your text suggests that t...Martine - the wording of your text suggests that the shrimps are boiled alive (as lobsters are). I could never be a vegetarian but a small part of me wishes we didn't have to do things like this. I just have to deliberately not think about it.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758423316220067958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-24665779129097361912009-11-04T00:14:46.796+01:002009-11-04T00:14:46.796+01:00Good Lord it's the four horsemen of the Apocal...Good Lord it's the four horsemen of the Apocalypse!

In the US, most of the shrimp come from "shrimp farm" (generally in Thailand). I only buy wild shrimp which is not easy to find; One bag of 24 medium shrimp at Whole Foods came from Argentina, flown to Canada to be peeled, deveined and packaged, then shipped to the US markets. I found wild shrimp caught off the coast of Texas at Trader Joe's. (Because they are bottom feeders, some people don't think shrimp are very healthy). I love mine roasted in oil olive with some salt and lemon juice. Easy and tasty!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031276247743743680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-68721701599006727682009-11-03T12:02:11.282+01:002009-11-03T12:02:11.282+01:00Oh that sounds really good!
