May 10 marks the celebration of National Shrimp Day in the United States. Use this day as an opportunity to celebrate the popular seafood.

 

Host a Shrimp Potluck Party

There are many ways to prepare shrimp and everyone has their preference. Host a potluck party with shrimp as the main dish. Ask your friends and family to bring their favorite version —shrimp cocktail, fried shrimp, grilled shrimp — and up the ante by voting on the best preparation.

 

Travel for Shrimp

Plan a trip to a destination known for its shrimp. New Orleans is known for its various preparations, including shrimp po’boys and shrimp and grits. Santiago is a popular seafood city and you’ll find many shrimp dishes on menus. Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market has more seafood than just flying fish — try the fine dining or casual seafood spots at the market. Lisbon’s traditional cuisine relies on fresh local seafood. Go to Cervejaria Ramiro for an unforgettable shrimp experience.

 

Watch Forrest Gump

If you’ve seen the 1994 film, you know shrimp plays an iconic part in the story. It’s even spawned a chain of seafood restaurants called Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Additionally, the film is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Purchase tickets for one of the June screenings.

Platform Helps Remote Workers, Business Travelers Find Work-Friendly Hotels

If you’ve ever attempted to work on the go — not necessarily for a business trip, but just because your job offers the flexibility of remote working — you may have struggled with working from your hotel room. Your options are typically plugging your laptop in next to a tiny in-room table, if you’re lucky, or you’re stuck answering emails from your hotel bed — hardly conducive to productivity.
