A Delicious Shrimp Feast

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Hey, seafood lovers! Shrimps are a classic favorite at family meals. Whatever cooking style used to cook the shrimps it is always a treat especially if its summer. There is no other grand way to spend summer than to enjoy consuming summer favorites. The feature summer menu for now is succulent and mouth watering lobster.

Yes, lobster. Even just the thought of its tender white meat flavored commonly with butter and garlic makes my mouth water with pleasure. Lobsters are deemed to be a fine dining food and are sometimes a pricey commodity because of its high price. Lobsters being hard to cook and a daunting task to do is a common misconception. Preparing and cooking the lobster is quite easy. Lobsters can be bought through a local fish monger with the claws safely tied away from our fragile hands.

Lobsters should be frozen by about 30-45 minutes before boiling for it to sleep or be in a temporary state of coma. Remove the rubber bands used to tie the claws (for security purposes) as it can alter the flavor of the lobster. Next is to place the lobsters in fast boiling water, cover tightly and leave it for around 30-45 minutes until it reaches a bright color red. Remove out of water and let cool in a pan.

Gently pry the tail to detach it from the body. Using kitchen scissors cut along the lobster's underside until the meat is released. Break the claws using the lobster cracker to release the juicy, flavorful and tender claw meat. Lobsters are best enjoyed with lemon butter sauce. Grilled Lobsters are also a favorite summer delicacy as well as shrimp salads and grilled barbecue shrimp kebabs.

Hmmm. This is really a tempting read. Don't we wish there's a shrimp feast we can attend right now? The Chesapeake Beach in Maryland is hosting its annual shrimp feast. Please come and attend the festival to enjoy their mouth watering lobsters.
