I don't know if Tom Brady's diet matters. It's clear he has signed a deal with the Devil in order to get the charmed life he's had. And shows incredible negotiation skills. 😉
Those shrimp look fantastic! It is very hard to get fresh shrimp here (East coast of Canada) now, though they used to be plentiful.
To be honest, those aren't "my" shrimps, but real fresh cooked shrimps looks like that.
Visiting any place on the Westcoast, you can buy a bag of shrimps, bring a some good beer (this is after all Sweden) and sit on a rock next to the sea and enjoy a nice Summerday. It's like having lobster in a restaurant by the waters in Mainem watching the sunset.

Over here they've prawns 🙂 for authentic shrimp you have to vist Morecambe and use brown shrimp caught in the bay.
These are cooked in a nutmeg flavoured butter , served on bread and traditionally called potted shrimp .

In Maine waters they've instituted a temporary ban on the local shrimp. There are so many things called shrimp/prawns around the world it becomes an apples and oranges comparison. Last year I had Carolina coast shrimp never knew they were so different.
They don't call it New England for nothing a tank of live lobster is never more than a mile away. 😉
Yeah, I know, and his (and the team's as result of having the $$ to go after other higher-tier players) successes more than pay that back on the endorsement side (plus, well, really, financially he's living on the coattails of his wife, or her dress's train? 😀).
There was a fun article in the Toronto Globe and Mail a few years ago, two brothers undertook a summer road trip from Boston to Halifax and ate nothing but lobster rolls the whole way (and went out of their way to find locally celebrated lobster rolls in various places). They took notes as they went. I am ashamed to say they judged the American ones superior, based mostly on portion size and the quality of the bun.
Good chance it was Canadian lobster though.😉 The New England bun thing is not that common elsewhere, kind of the upper third of two slices of sandwich bread attached at the bottom. Plenty of whole lobster rolls at $15-$20 around here.
Must be served with potato salad and coleslaw. Believe it or not, McDonald's serves "McLobster" sandwiches here in the summer, they don't actually suck, just a hotdog bun stuffed full of lobster meat.
Believe it or not a dinner guest borrowed my potato salad recipe and published it in "Yankee" magazine. It was a very non-New England style which included fresh lovage which is very rare unless you have your own herb farm. One of my Austrian grandmother's favorites (I forgot to rip out some to propagate when I sold the house 🙁).
Nez, someone had a McDonald one here and said it was surprising good. Makes me wonder if it was Langoustine.
Scott, you might already know that my potato salad doesn't include mayo and has proven very popular. It was a recipe I stole from my business manager and it includes skin-on red potatoes and blanched veggies in an oil and vinegar base. Mine doesn't have lovage but it is made with love. 🙂
I bet everyone has a favourite recipe, yes?

Mine includes mayo but very little. Potatoes, green onion (or sweet onion), s&p, dried basil (fresh overpowers the flavours), tossed with a little olive oil and lemon, then a bit of mayo. I can't stand gloppy potato salad. I have also tried a few without mayo, and like them, but I always come back to my "traditional".
Besides the unobtanium herb, what else goes in it?
I can't affor Yankee magazine back issues. 🙂
The panda bear has a diet abundant in bamboo shoots -- which have virtually no food value -- for this reason the panda eats almost continuously, poops continuously and has no time for reproductive activities.
Gee, see what you learn on PBS 'Nova'
@simon7000 -- 5 year old grand-daughter asked that we plant corn this year so i put in 106 seeds -- germination very poor owing to the very cold and wet weather.
It's for our 4th of July, red, white, and "blue" fingerling or miniature potatoes (halved or quartered to get the pieces the same). I like colorful veg in it so there is some colored peppers (sliced very thin), green onions, dill and/or a little cilantro, parsley, and the lovage for herbs. The dressing is lemon juice, EVO, s&p, and a good mustard. I do throw in things that show up from the farm at times like some grated radish or garlic scapes. I try to dress it only an hour or so before it is served (and the lemon juice MUST be fresh squeezed). It is busy and looks like fireworks but it is always finished.
My grandmother, bless her heart, made dressing with bacon, the rendered fat and white vinegar and far fewer ingredients. IIRC my friend added bacon to mine in her version and removed the colored peppers. The touch of yellow, red, and orange is pretty though.
