After that Moon-shooting walk it was time for dinner. I saw these packets of boiled shrimp at the neighborhood market and couldn't resist picking one up. Back home, I ate the bodies first, then deep-fried the heads; with a little extra salt, pepper and paprika, they were crispy-crunchy on the outside and soft and tasty inside, the perfect drinking food with beer. I did have to get used to them staring at me reproachfully with their fried eyes, though. Seeing them like this, I see the point in the description of marine crustaceans as the "bugs of the sea".
