Revenge of headless shrimps
Lately we’ve being going to Ho Ho Seafood Restaurant for its spot shrimps. Last time the hostess recommended the next time we come, try spot shrimps prepared in 2 ways – deep-fried the heads and sashimi the body. We got really excited just hearing about it.
Last Tuesday we didn’t feel like cooking. When ktula said “Ho Ho?”, I knew he was talking about that shrimps in 2 ways. We raced to the restaurant and ordered a pound of spot shrimps. I was excited. Seafood doesn’t get any fresher than this.
Sashimi shrimps and a plate of wasabi arrived shortly. Beheaded shrimps arranged neatly on a bed of crushed ice. Peeling off the shell was rather difficult because the shrimps’ freshness. I was concentrating on the peeling when one of the shrimps jumped out of the plate.
What the hell? These guys were missing their heads and therefore should be dead for some times now. My brain cannot register what just happened. I resume to my peeling, then another shrimp jump out of the plate.
I freaked out and did a sissy-girl shriek. ktula peeled a shrimp for me so I didn’t have to deal with it. Just when I was about to bite into it, the body jerked.
ktula can have rest of the sashimi shrimps. Fresh is a good thing, but when that food moved in your mouth, that’s freaky. I finished the deep-fried peeper and salt shrimp heads. And that was plenty fresh and tasty for me. As for the sashimi part, I was too busy freaking out I honestly can’t tell you if it’s any good. However, ktula will tell you otherwise.
