Saltwater Scampi or Shrimp

Description

Saltwater shrimp or scampi (all the same) are way better then their sweetwater counterparts. The sweetwater versions are mostly cultivated in Bangladesh and are from the vinnamei - whiteles shrimp kind. They are less tasty the saltwater versions. The saltwater shrimp are mostly cultivated through aquaponics. I visited the only 100% sustainable recycling aquaponics farm in the world, in Ternat in Belgium. A follow up story soon to come. The best ones are straight from the sea of course. Like the praying maris kind from the southern shores of Italy.

Foodsecret : to devein them, simply cut open the back with scissors and remove the vein. Or buy deveined :-)
