Easily the most commonly consumed of crustaceans, shrimps number about 2,000 species. They range in size from tiny to lengths of more than 20 centimeters. The term prawn is generally applied to those that exceed 10 cm. Shrimp inhabit both fresh and salt water and are mostly found in shallow underwater floors where they feed on small plants and animals.
Shrimps have thick muscled abdomens which they contract to move backwards, and these curved muscles extracted from the abdomen is what is known as shrimp meat, which bequeaths a variety of preparations. I personally love to eat shrimps cooked in extra virgin coconut oil and garlic, shrimp salad or Chinese shrimp fried rice added with spices that will surely satisfy your taste buds. There are of course endless possible cooking preparation for shrimps. What’s yours?
