Live Shrimp Salad for Breakfast
I went to market real early this morning. We left at 5:30am. Chanced upon many things. One of them were these live shrimp freshwater from Binangonan, part of Laguna lake. Lots of them still alive so I bought half a kilo to eat and to entertain my kids.
I demonstrated to my 2 younger kids how to eat live shrimp. Take off the heads, because those sharp heads may puncture you in the mouth. Then eat. My 8 and 7 year old were in no mood to eat live shrimp. They just wanted to play with them in a bowl of water. See them swim.
My 10 year old woke up later and he had some raw live shrimp with me. Along with his raw egg yolk and calamansi to make a liver flush recipe work.
Eating live shrimp is normal in the provinces where they are caught alive and eaten immediately, fresh goodness. They all have their own recipes.

Technically, we didn’t eat a shrimp “salad”. We just ate live shrimp.
