 Rating:  - Fun, Yet Complicated...I bought this cute little book because my husband and I frequented the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company restaurant when we were in Disneyland together last year - where we got engaged. So, for me it was more of a sentimental purchase. And, for eleven bucks, why not?! I just got it and I think it's super cute. It's got a lot of cute little stuff in it from the movie, as if it were written by Forrest Gump himself. It's also got a lot of the recipes that Bubba Blue mentioned his Mama making in the movie. It's cute. I recommend it for fun! It's a little complicated, and many of the recipes are so unhealthy that I believe eating them would increase my pants with just one bite. So, if you're looking for some easy shrimp dishes, this isn't the book for you. Also note - a lot of the meals included suggest unshelled shrimp. As someone that cooks shrip rarely, I get the shelled, frozen stuff at Costco and am really not interested in getting the unshelled stuff regularly. So, if I use this book, I will substitute my cheater shrimp or use it very seldom for special, "Grandma is coming over" occassions. Overall, though, it's a cute little book and I recommend it just to have. Worth the read at least! Side note: the book is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. =) Rating:  - No recipes from Bubba Gump's Restaurant, but OKMy husband and I are big fans of the Bubba Gump's theme restaurants, and I was at least hoping some of their recipes or near matches would be in this book. In this I was dissapointed. However, several of the recipes look tasty none the less. I noted with some amusement that every recipe in the book calls specifically for whole, tail-on, unpeeled shrimp - and then the first instruction is to peel and devein! I have no love for this task, so I will certainly be subsituting pre-peeled shrimp. Somehow I don't think the recipes will suffer for it! Rating:  - awesomeI gave this book as a gift and it was the best gift I have ever given. The recipient was overjoyed and we plan to try every recipe in the book. We did not read a bad recipe in the entire book. The quotes are fun and make the cookbook even more delightful. Rating: - No grits!Very disappointed that their Shrimp & Grits recipe was not in the book. However that are many recipes that chould be fun to try.
