I feel like Bubba from Forrest Gump with all the shrimp I ate on Day 14.
“… 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, …”
All these years later, and that quote still makes me smile.
I shared 2 of my favorite shrimp dishes with one of my favorite people today. My friend Angie and I met for lunch at Mike Willie’s. I discovered this little gem last time I was in BR, and I was delighted to enjoy their food again.
Angie and I could not decide, so we ordered 2 dishes and shared. I simply could not go past the shrimp poboy with sweet potato fries. Yum!
We also had the New Orleans style BBQ Shrimp. OMG! This was so, so good. I wanted to lift up that bowl and drink the sauce. I would have had to fight Angie off though as she had the same idea.
Ordinarily, this would have seen me finished for the day. But, another friend, Jodi, presented me with some homemade peanut butter fudge. Really, could anyone resist this?
Yum! My girls were only too happy to help me with these.
