I consider a grilled shrimp salad an inflight score, especially on a domestic route. I was given a choice between the shrimp and something that resembled a sad, brown version of a burrito from my high-school cafeteria days. To be fair, it was called a "beef quesadilla wrap," and my neighbor, 1B, downed his like a pro. The shrimp, on the other hand, made for a much prettier picture.

There aren't a whole lot of ways to screw up cooked shrimp, ...

I have eaten
the chili coconut shrimp
that were in
the service cart

and which
you were probably
saving
for the guy sitting next to me

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so spicy

(apologies to WC Williams)
