Pink Shrimp

The vivid hues of this crustacean's shell are reminiscent of a cherry tree in bloom. Though other shrimp require tedious peeling and declawing before they can be eaten, the pink shrimp's carapace is pleasantly chewable. Whether its flesh is dried or baked into a savory biscuit, those who have had the pleasure of eating it claim to have glimpsed a mythical realm known only as “shrimp heaven.”
