Did you know Americans consume almost four and a half pounds of shrimp per person, per year? I love shrimp. They cook quickly, are extremely versatile, and are not too expensive as far as fresh seafood goes. Please look for wild caught shrimp or farmed shrimp that come from a sustainable source. This is important because farmed shrimp, and seafood in general, that are not from good sources, can be fed all sorts of things that you do not want to eat.
