I wasn’t used to be much into shrimp or seafood for that matter. However, I got married to a seafood fan, and within years started appreciating seafood a lot more. And now, we have another fan of shrimp in our home, our 7-year-old Jacob. He can eat a whole pack of them all on his own. I love watching him enjoy it with such an appetite, I don’t know if I am the only one that just loves when kids love food.
