Last night's dinnerDidn't take pictures, but it was all yummy. (My wife thought it was pretty enough to photograph, but I thought it was kinda monochromatic. We usually have greens with Indian food, but this...
Sorry your dinner was so horrible. I wanted to comment that I have a friend who raises shrimp. My friend raises breeder shrimp, here in Hawaii, which are sold mainly to Asia.
Here is what he said that has stuck with me. Always order big shrimp --I know the cost but... At the end of a day at a shrimp farm, the workers go through the shrimp tanks and harvest all the floating shrimp. Of course there are many more small ones and that is why small shrimp cost so much less. They are then frozen and sold. Those are the small shrimp. As you work your way up the shrimp ladder:), you are getting shrimp that survived longer or were grown to be mature shrimp and they've made it. The big "jumbo" shrimp which we are so lucky to have with our friend from time to time, are sold when his hatchery has too many. In closing, he was saying that not too many hatcheries raise tiny shrimp purposefully.
Just my $.02
