An interesting factoid about Maine shrimp (Pandalus borealis): Apparently, although the species lives across the oceans of the world, the population in the Gulf of Maine does not migrate. Instead, just like the human Mainers, they stay right heah wheah they’ah planted.

I really like Maine shrimp. They are sweet and beautifully tender. A very short boil in the shell, as the Slashfood post author describes, is all that’s necessary. Cocktail sauce is not really needed, since it can overwhelm the delicate flavor of these little bugs, though we did happen to have some on hand.

The cat was interested as well.
