So I started my week of eating shrimp today and I'll probably extend it a little bit longer than a week but we'll see. Today for dinner I had:
Appetizer:
A Type of Asian Spinach Soup with bits of Shrimp
Combination of braised (caramelized) shrimp, pork and fried Vietnamese meatloaf
My bowl of rice with soup and braised (caramelized) shrimp
That was my dinner, the taste was overall okay. I couldn't stand the texture of the shrimp in my mouth D: I had to practically eat huge chunks of rice just to get the chewy texture of shrimp out of my mouth. The texture of minced shrimp in soups is the WORST!!! Also the flavor just stuck in my mouth like a super bad after taste. The flavor of plain, fresh, unseasoned shrimp is something that people are crazy about but I am not. ):
Rating of meal for day 1: average . . . hopefully I can get through this . . . what is so good about shrimp anyway? (feel free to comment :])
How can you not like shrimp???? It is one of God's most perfect food! It goes with EVERYTHING! I can quickly make an awesome meal with it. Example, shrimp pasta with parmesan, shrimp and tofu stir fried with tomatoes (Spencer's favorite), carmelized shrimp, shrimp on the grill, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. The trick to shrimp is don't overcook it. Sorry, baby. You're in the wrong family if you don't like shrimp. :) Interesting descriptions of the taste from someone who don't like shrimp. I can't imagine my life without it as I most likely had shrimp in my baby food.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that my dislike for the texture of shrimp is due to it being overcooked, undercooked, or cooked just fine :P I just can't stand the texture in general. . . but who knows, maybe after a week or more a miracle will happen and I ending up loving shrimp and I'll finally "fit in". :)
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you try to season the shrimp before you put it in the food? That is what I do whenever I cook shrimp.
