Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Shrimp is popular as a meal in South America, and especially in Peru where this dish originated. What do you call shrimp that is served in citrus juices, often lime, seasoned with ají, and served raw?

Answer: Shrimp ceviche

As tradition has it, ceviche originated in Peru over 2000 years ago, well before Europeans came and took over the continent. The first mention of ceviche is in an 1820 song "La Chicha" while first recipe of ceviche can be found in "The Guide of Lima" by Manual Atanasio Fuentes in the 19th century. The origin of the word ceviche (also found in several alternative spellings) can be attributed to 'siwichi' in Quechua meaning 'fresh or tender fish' or to 'sakbāj' in Arabic referring to meat that has been prepared in vinegar.

While shrimp ceviche is quite delicious, because it is basically served raw, it must be consumed right when prepared. Buen provecho!
2. This next serving of shrimp originates in Greece, and is called "garídes saganáki". The traditional saganaki dish refers to the pan in which it is made, but what are the shrimp baked with that melts and creates the traditional saganaki serving?

Answer: Cheese

Shrimp saganaki, or, in Greek, garídes saganáki, is a dish that is named for the pan it is made in. The saganaki pan is one with two handles and can withstand high heat because it is often made of copper. The shrimp are baked in feta cheese and tomato sauce, the cheese being the traditional component of the saganaki serving.

The North American restaurant adaptation of this dish is to flambé it as it is being served at the table and the fire is put out with a squeeze of lemon juice.
3. Shrimp fra diavolo is an Italian dish where the shrimp is served in a Fra Diavolo sauce. Knowing that 'diavolo' revers to the Devil, what do you think the primary flavour of a shrimp fra diavolo will be?

Answer: Spicy

Shrimp fra diavolo is a popular Italian dish where the shrimp is served over pasta with a Fra Diavolo sauce. The 'Brother Devil' sauce is spicy and is made from tomatoes, hot pepper flakes, garlic, and an assortment of fresh herbs. The heat can be quite overpowering, for those who aren't used to it. Nevertheless, the dish is quite a popular one, and is often compared to arrabiata.

However, shrimp fra diavolo adds less heat, or at least it builds more subtly than the heat punched by arrabiata.
4. This shrimp dish is found often in a Japanese establishment, and has the shrimp battered in water, eggs, and flour, then deep fried. What do you call this popular dish?

Answer: Shrimp Tempura

Tempura is a Japanese way of cooking food, typically meat, seafood or vegetables. The object in question is battered in a mixture of water, eggs, flour, and occasionally baking soda or baking powder (to add fluffiness) and then deep fried. The batter is only lightly stirred so as to intentionally leave lumps, giving the tempura its typical texture.

Tempura was brought to Japan by Portuguese immigrants living in Nagasaki. The name itself comes from the Latin word for 'fasting' or 'abstinence' - 'tempora'. This referred to times that Catholics were not supposed to have meat like Lent or Fridays.
5. Staying with Japanese-inspired dishes, sushi is another place that shrimp feature prominently. Hawaiian rolls, Boston rolls, mango rolls, are just a few types of makizushi that have shrimp in them. What is the Japanese name for shrimp where the terminology is used in describing the contents of the sushi?

Answer: Ebi

When listing off the sushi ingredients, 'tako' is octopus, 'ika' is squid, 'unagi' is eel, and 'ebi' is shrimp.

Sushi is a Japanese dish consisting of rice and vinegar ('sumeshi') along with vegetables and/or seafood, often raw. There are several types of sushi, the most commonly eaten at restaurants are maki (rolled sushi) and nigiri (pressed rice with a topping). However, the easiest form of sushi is chirashi, rice in a bowl with chopped up seafood and vegetables on top.
6. In the traditional Chinese dish of drunken shrimp, can the shrimp be served live?

Answer: Yes

Drunken shrimp, or zuěxiā in Pinyin, is a dish where the shrimp are first dunked in a form of alcohol, often rice wine, which forces them to expel their waste. The shrimp are often in a state of stupor at that point, where they can be served up raw, dunked in a sauce, or lightly cooked in boiling water before being served. This delicacy does carry the risk of paragonimiasis, a parasitic infection that comes from eating raw or undercooked seafood.

There is a Japanese version of this dish called 'odori ebi' which means 'dancing shrimp'. This refers to the squirming that the shrimp do when they're about to be consumed.
7. In the Spanish-speaking world, cooking shrimps in garlic and butter or oil, and spicing it up with some sort of pepper is a popular dish. What name does it have?

Answer: Gambas al ajillo

Gambas al ajillo is a very popular dish, first of all because it is very tasty, and secondly because it doesn't take very long to make. The shrimp is lightly fried in a garlic butter or a garlic oil, with some hot paprika for flavour. Alternatively, different kinds of spicy pepper can be used, depending on the region that the dish is being cooked in.

This dish is often a tapa served in many a Spanish establishment.
8. The name of this dish is somewhat of a misnomer, since both parts of the name mean 'shrimp'. However, this refers to a dish made by Italian immigrants to the United States where the shrimp is served in a butter-wine-cheese sauce, and often over a plate of noodles. What is this dish called?

Answer: Shrimp scampi

Shrimp scampi is a dish that was served by Italian-Americans that reminded them of the food they had while in Italy. Scampi is a close relative to shrimp and can be found in the Mediterranean and northern Atlantic Ocean, however, not readily in the United States. Reminiscing about the scampi they had back in the Old Country, the Italian immigrants prepared the shrimp in the style of scampi, in a butter, white wine, and parmesan cheese sauce, over a plate of pasta or rice, but occasionally on their own.
9. While its name implies alcohol, this hors d'oeuvre is actually shrimp served in a glass with sauce. Incredibly popular from the '60s to the '80s, what is the name of this form of shrimp?

Answer: Shrimp cocktail

A shrimp cocktail (also called a prawn cocktail) is a serving of the scrumptious shellfish cooked and placed in a glass, with a Marie Rose sauce or a cocktail sauce. It was particularly popular as an hors d'oeuvre from the '60s to the '80s in both the United States and the United Kingdom but can still be found if you know where to look.

The shrimp cocktail came to prominence in the Prohibition Era in the United States as something that can be served in the then-unused martini glasses, though the dish itself has origins earlier than that. The sauce is basically a mix of mayonnaise, ketchup, and tabasco sauce, but it pairs well with the cooked shrimp.
10. G'day mate, fancy some true blue tucker? Let me fire up the barbie and put on some chook, snag, and shrimp. Actually, an Australian would likely never say "shrimp". What's another word for 'shrimp' that is often associated with Australian lingo?

Answer: prawns

Barbecue shrimp is a very popular method of serving up shrimp. However, not everywhere in the world are they actually called 'shrimp'. In Australia, as well as in most of the British-influenced world, shrimp are called 'prawns' and the two words can be used interchangeably. Taxonomically, there is a difference between shrimp and prawns, however, most people do not know the difference and would not be able to figure out what it is that they're eating.
