Dozens of professionals and amateurs expertly prepared over one ton of fresh wild caught Gulf shrimp in a wide variety of ways from boiled to coconut to cocktails to fried and scampi. While munching on tasty shrimp attendees were able to shop for jewelry, collectibles, art and more from the vendors set up on the grounds. There was a mini-carnival for the kids, balloon animals, face painting and games. For more information about this event and future events contact the Port Isabel Chamber of Commerce at (956)943-2262.
