"Shrimp is the fruit of the sea"

A very strong argument can be made for the 1990's being the best decade in the history of film. It's a period when we simultaneously saw CGI movie technology finally catch up with the screenwriter's imagination, as well as the rise of indy movies into mainstream movie viewing. In the middle of all that was 1994 - one of the top 5 greatest movie years of all time. Try and come up with a better 1, 2, 3, punch than Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, & The Shawshank Redemption! I could ramble on the subject for hours but for now let's move onto the food.

Basically the inspiration for this came from watching Forrest Gump while eating a bowl of Rhode Island Clam Chowder. I know what you're asking, what the hell is Rhode Island Clam Chowder!? Basically it's a much cleaner, stock based version of the typical cream and tomato based offerings found in New England and New York. It's awesome, trust me. In the spirit of my other posts I've also included the famous clip of Bubba rattling off all the things you can do with shrimp . . . classic. Recipe is below, enjoy!!
