Lean, fit shrimp…just right for drenching in butter

You can tell it’s not a Bally’s ad by the absence of lycra and proudly outthrust breasts.

    Looks more like swimming than running, if you ask me. It hardly moved its legs at all.

    Nah, if you want breasts, you’ve gotta put a chicken on a treadmill.

    Ok, that was only funny in my head. *sigh*

    PETA is going to get on their case for mistreating shrimp. It may be their next poster guy.

    Sheesh. Here I am on the gulf coast, a shrimp lover, and I haven’t been buying shrimp from the flea market dealers who sell it for about a dollar a bucket. What’s wrong with me?

    Of course, I don’t actually know how to cook any of the non-breaded species of shrimp.
