"The Fruit of the Sea"

Forget cocaine and terrorists, the US Coast Guard has captured 3,600 pounds of shrimp. The Cutter Manowar intercepted an illegal shrimping operation 12 miles off the coast of Texas and hauled in their out of season catch.

Now what's the Coast Guard gonna do with a ton-and-a-half of shrimp? Well, lessee:

"You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's, um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich... That's, that's about it."

The haul was worth $9,500. (US Coast Guard)
