Today is National Shrimp Day! You can add shrimp to just about any dish for a great meat substitute! Beef Stir-Fry, becomes shrimp stir fry; Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken becomes Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp- without any hassle!   Also known as the “Fruit of the Sea” the number of ways to prepare shrimp are endless. The most famous shrimp quote (probably the only movie quote mentioning shrimp) is of course from Forrest Gump:

Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.

Here’s a fun shrimp recipe that we’re sure you’ll love!
