We have been harvesting and eating shrimp for thousands of years. The southeastern United States has many communities that were built around the shrimping industry and a wide variety of immigrants and "locals" have contributed to the culture that is "shrimping". IT IS A THREATENED CULTURE. The love of this crustacean has influenced music, advertising, cuisine and spurred commerce. Artisans have interpreted the shrimp in a variety of ways from paintings and sculpture to ceramics and stained glass. We will be sharing with you all that we can find that will hopefully educate, entertain and enlighten!
