FRESH SHRIMPS

The picture above was taken when we went home to Philippines last January 2009.

Of course, we bought plenty of fresh shrimp! Who could resist fresh shrimp anyway....

Food Trip Friday # 3

It is Food Trippers Day again. Check the entries today at Food Trip Friday. For my entry, I am posting here Buttered Shrimp with Shells-On. Actually most Americans don't like eating shrimps with shells-on... Perhaps they are too lazy to remove the shells. I only cook shrimps with shells for me and my filipino friends as hubby always prefers a shrimp dish that doesn't have shells on it.
