What Else Bubba May Have Said

Benjamin Buford Blue knew everything there was to know about the shrimping business.
In the film "Forrest Gump," he listed ways to prepare, and dishes that contained, the tasty crustaceans over the span of several different day-night shots. Because the filmmakers didn't want to bore the audience, Bubba only recited about a dozen or so.
I took the liberty of trying to fill some of the void with other shrimp creations.
Here's a list of what I came up with (includes those mentioned in the movie).

  • boiled
  • broiled
  • baked
  • fried
  • stir-fried
  • popcorn
  • breaded
  • shrimp with pasta (mind you, there are more than 365 types of noodles, making this list much longer)
  • shrimp sandwiches
  • shrimp burgers
  • shrimp salad
  • shrimp on the barbie
  • shrimp and potatoes
  • shrimp soup
  • shrimp in a blanket
  • shrimp tacos
  • shrimp burritos
  • shrimp fajitas
  • shrimp enchiladas
  • shrimp chimichangas
  • grilled shrimp
  • blackened shrimp
  • frozen shrimp
  • shrimp chili
  • shrimp on flatbread
  • shrimp pizza
  • shrimp and eggs
  • Shrimp kebabs
  • barbecue shrimp
  • teriyaki shrimp
  • shrimp and pho noodles
  • shrimp eggrolls
  • shrimp and scallops
  • shrimp and steak
  • shrimp cocktail
  • a surf and turf with shrimp
  • butterfly shrimp
  • garlic shrimp
  • coconut shrimp
  • honey-glazed shrimp
  • beer-battered shrimp
By no means is this list all-inclusive. I'd say it would get Bubba through making his bed.
Add your shrimp dishes to this post at your leisure.
