"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..." - Bubba

Fresh Choice Seafood sells these Jumbo Key West Shrimp by the pound, so stock up. These are delivered fresh, so cank up the crab boil, bring on the bibs, spread out some newspaper and let's get to peelin'!

Yes, I know - George Carlin called the phrase "jumbo shrimp" an oxymoron, but that doesn't apply to these Key West Jumbo Shrimp! Big, juicy and pink, these puppies are just waiting to be steamed, boiled, skewered, barbecued, fried... But I digress.

This weekend is the Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival. Ahhh, LA in the fall (that's Lower Alabama, ya'll!)  If you can't go, do yourself a favor and get some of these big guys and create your own party. Great for tailgating, too. You'll be the hit of the parking lot!

In honor of the Bayo La Batre Taste of the Bayou Seafood Festival this coming weekend, I present to you this Gourmet Seafood Gift Basket. Sure, you won't find stone crab claws or lobster tails in the bayou, but who cares! Buy it for yourself. If you want to share, it's up to you!

 Tip: If you go to the bayou, real seafood gumbo has crab claws and other crab parts in it. So don't freak out, okay?

Yes, that's right... it's National Sea Monkey Day! A day to celebrate these shrimp-like branchiopods, packaged for your enjoyment in their cryptobiotic state of suspended animation. Just add 'instant life'!

DiscoverThis.com has LOTS of sea monkey products - from action figures (pictured at left) to crazy aquatic scenery sets.
