Fresh Shrimp

 This is at the beach front just across the street.  The shrimp boats go out every morning.  This is one of the tree canoes that locals use.  There are bigger fishing boats, but the individuals use these.  They are very old, hollowed out trees.  The yellow spots are plastic that has been nailed over weak spots over the years.

 These shrimp were just harvested this morning and the men come to our apartment building and call us to come down and buy what we want.  This is a first for us.  Fresh caught shrimp.  We are told that the our coast here in Beira has the largest shrimp in the world.  Elder Snelson and Pres. Kretly have bought some called Tiger Shrimp that are as big as Dads hand.

It took about an hour for us to clean and devein the 2 kilos that we bought.  It took all of 3 minutes to cook them.  We boiled them in lemon and garlic and WOW were they good.  Really tasted a lot better than the one that you buy in Tremonton from the freezer.  Yesterday Dad bought another 2 kilos and they were bigger this time and it was so much nicer.  For the price per kilo, the fishermen cleaned them for us.  That way we get all the benefits without the apartment smelling like fish for a week.  I will fry them in butter and garlic today and they will be YUMMY!!!  They are not anymore expensive that hamburger.
