Shrimp is one of the easiest foods to cook. Â I was at the makeup counter last week buying mascara and the wonderful English lady who was helping me (yes she had that wonderful accent) was complaining about what to cook for dinner when she got home. Â She wanted something quick and easy. Â I of course jumped at the opportunity to talk about food and suggested shrimp. “Oh no,” she said, ” shrimp scares me”. Â “Why,” I asked with bewildered look on my face. Â “Because I can’t tell when it’s cooked”.
