Giant Alien Shrimp Invades Gulf of Mexico

The Asian tiger prawn, a foot-long crustacean with a voracious appetite and a proclivity for disease, has invaded the northern Gulf, threatening prized native species, from crabs and oysters to smaller brown and white shrimp.

Though no one is sure what the ecological impact will be, scientists fear a tiger prawn takeover could knock nature's balance out of whack and turn a healthy, diverse marine habitat into one dominated by a single invasive species.

all u need is a bus of hungry tourists and a bathtub of cocktail sauce to defend the gulf...

[scottc]

Uh Oh the world is headed for a shortage of Cocktail Sauce.

I don't know about anyone else, but if they're here in the US, let's catch 'em and put them on a plate for dinner.  Why is that so hard to grasp?

[maudiepoot]

break out the cocktail sauce and get those puppies under control .

Americans are always complaining.  Too much giant carp, too much giant shrimp.  Eat them, instead of lining the pockets of McDonalds.

Those shrimps are edible and are great for bbq. Common in South East Asia, you can easily find them in Thailand and Singapore. If you're going to Puket, Thailand you will see them in seaside restaurents.

BATMAN : "First plane out to the Gulf of Mexico, and hurry please!"
ROBIN : " Don't u mean the bat mobile?"
ME : " Get behind me first & hand me the lemon and a salt shaker and this time i will save the Gulf"

I have a sudden appetite for shrimp cocktail.. I'd imagine this tastes more like a lobster

[arcaneconjecture]

From Forrest Gump:

"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried....there's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew...shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich...that- that's about it."

[KingOfAllAnimals]

just a thought, Garlic, butter, maybe a pinch of dill and a gentle squeeze of lemon... Also a really big pot of boiling water... and maybe a BBQ steak to go with that and a salad?

'Bubba-Gump shrimp', opens new restaurant - 'The Red Snapper-less Inn'.

[mikezoe]

I want to do my part right now! When is Red Lobster going to start offing endless tiger shrimp buffet?

[Keybo]

I can't remember the last time a comment actually made me laugh, much less cry! Bravo!

[AnthonyMaw]

Pan fried in garlic butter - the bigger and fatter they are the better eating!

[DarkMagickan]

Damn. You made me drool on my keyboard. You owe me a new one, and I expect it pronto!
