Receta Debo's Shrimp Tacos
Shrimp
is very nutritious. It is the most popular shellfish in the United States. It
is available year round. It is a popular ingredient in salads, appetizers, chowders,
and as a main dish.
The
word shrimp comes from the Middle English shrimpe, meaning "pygmy" or reference to the
crustacean itself. In 7th century, shrimp and other seafood composed the
majority of the Chinese diet, and still does today.
In
1280, Marco Polo made a comment on the abundance of seafood in Chinese
marketplaces, including shrimp. Harvesting of shrimp dates back to the 17th
century, where Louisiana bayou folks used seines up to 2,000 feet in
circumference to scoop up the delicacy. Mechanized shrimping did not come about
until after 1917.
Today,
the United States harvests over 650 million pounds a year, more than any other
country. And still this is not enough to fill the need, in spite of shrimp farming.
The US imports yet another 200 million pounds a year.
Dinner
