Peeled

    It is no news flash that English has a number of dialects. but I at least am always surprised when I have to learn a new one. As a person who used to date a daughter of a shrimping family, I would have thought I had shrimpese down, but no. At the fish market, I always asked for "shelled" shrimp, and got mad when they brought me shrimp with shells on. As it turns out, at least in Columbia, what I needed to ask for was "peeled" shrimp. Did so yesterday with happy results. And the shrimp boil turned out awesome, even when I forgot to put the garlic in. Huzzah!
