Shrimp has been used in culinary creations for centuries, dating back as early as 7th century China, where shrimp was used in many different dishes.

The word “shrimp” actually comes from the Middle English term, “shrimpe” which means pygmy, or a relation to the crustacean itself.

During the years of early exploration, Marco Polo actually commented on the abundance of shrimp in China in the year 1280.

In more modern times, 17th century Louisiana was the most popular spot in the United States to get fresh, gulf shrimp. During this time, Louisiana bayou residents harvested shrimp using seines that were up to 2,000 feet in circumference as a tool to scoop the shrimp out of the water.

Today, the United States consumes over 650 million pounds of shrimp per year, making it our nation’s most popular shellfish.

Shrimp can be prepared in many different ways, all of which were made famous by the character “Bubba” in the Academy Award winning film, Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks.

Inspired by the versatility of shrimp in the culinary world, the gourmet chefs at BistroMD put a unique twist on the traditional ways to prepare shrimp, to make a dish that is bold in flavor, and packed with the shrimp flavor you love.
