After recently being relocated to the Florida Keys I decided to begin playing around with the local ingredients to prepare some meals. I got my hands on some fresh Key West Pink Shrimp from a local fisherman friend that were caught the same day I prepared the meal.
I have consumed shrimp in almost every region of the US, but I cannot compare the taste of these particular shrimp in the Keys. They are the cleanest and most crisp shrimp I have ever tasted. The clarity of the local waters and the high salinity give them their flavor. Pairing these little guys with rum, mango, and the like was quite easy. I feel like you all will enjoy this dish.
