Summary: shrimply delicious
Comment: I bought this book after seeing these guys at a cooking demo in the New York area--and it's as entertaining as they are! I love all the cool info about shrimp, and I love the international dishes they create. Plus, the whole thing has this really great sense of humor. I love shrimp--and now I have enough great recipes to last me a long, long time. Plus, it's so cool that it doesn't cost much but you get a lot of great shrimp recipes!

Summary: an ultimate book in every way
Comment: i have made recipes from this book and unlike some of the other reviewers who haven't, i can tell you that they are spectacular. they are written in a very straightforward way and that's a good thing. they are easy to follow. and while some of the variations that follow recipes are simple, i wouldn't have thought of them myself. turning the delicious shrimp puffs into chinese shrimp puffs requires the addition of ginger, cilantro, and chili oil, while omitting the thyme and tabasco. basil and fish sauce are added to create thai shrimp puffs. yummy. and as for information, well the introduction in this book tells me more about shrimp than i ever knew. did you know that fresh shrimp are almost always frozen? and there are detailed instructions on how to peel and devein a shrimp (of different sizes) right there on page 5. i've enjoyed cooking from this book and it's one of those i keep right in my kitchen and turn to time and time again.

Summary: The Ultimate Shrimp Book review
Comment: I haven't tried the recipes, but I can provide some comments that may be useful:
1. recipes appear to be straighforward and unremarkable. I believe a previous reviewer made a similar comment. So the word "Ultimate" in the book title is inaccurate.
2. There are actually 109 recipes with variations. I.e, a basic recipe is given and additional instructions are made to the basic recipe (such as whisk 4 dashes of Tabasco sauce), so I think the 650 recipes claim by the author is misleading. The book is 248 pages long.
3. The page numbers are written in a very thin font so it maybe difficult for persons with eye-sight problems to locate a receipe using the index.
4. There are no photographs so you can't tell if you successfully achieves the result intended by the author.
5. There are no instructions on how to peel and devein the shrimp -- not a big thing, but since the book is titled "Ultimate", I expect a complete treatise.

Summary: a jumbo shrimp book
Comment: This is a wonderful book, full of traditional and innovative recipes. I love the shrimp-y takes on classics like Diane, A la King, Fra Diavolo, and Lasagna. My family also liked the international focus--African, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Japanese. We've even learned to make our own sushi rolls! We had a blast this summer with this book. There's nothing fancy--just solid recipes with lots of ideas for varying them endlessly. In the end, this is a book I'll come back to again and again. True, it's not a coffee table cookbook--but then, I'm not a coffee table cook.
