MARION SUE FISCHER'S RECIPE FOR STREET SHRIMP
"I'm a class act. Even if I am in a sleazebag hotel full of junkies."
Bur 1/3 lb. per person cooked shrimp meat (it's cheaper than you think). Or tuna, or surami (known as Krab or imitation crabmeat) if you don't have that much money. Track down a lemon, and cilantro. If you can, get a ripe avocado and bread from the foodbanks.
Toss the shrimp (or substitute) with lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Heap this in the middle of a plate. Arrange the avocado slices around the plate, artistically. Eat!
Evaluation:
Taste and Nutrition: Excellent.
Practicals: Affordable, as long as you're getting some money or foodstamps. Krab meat is not only cheaper than shrimp, it lasts longer - but it still needs refrigeration. Don't try to keep any kind of seafood in your backpack. Please.
Side Benefits: It is good for the soul to have at least one "quality meal" every few weeks. "You are what you eat" - be quality. There's enough spam and crackers out there already.
