USA West Coast Trip

Last summer I and two of my friends went to West Coast of USA. It was our dream trip for a long time, so we booked the tickets, rented a car and began our 14-day journey through the most of the places we could pack into our long bucket list.

There’s shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.
