This Is How We Do It: Shrimp

Nuttin' But Love

RIP Heavy D, who gave us two timeless hits (this one and this one), a lesser hit I like even more than the other two, and one great album title/nickname-of-a-nickname (“Waterbed Hev”).  As far as I know, he coined the word “conversate.”  He also left us with this, a line I’ve never forgotten.

I’d like to see a remake of “Return of the Jedi” where at the end, a redeemed Heavy D goes to Jedi heaven, where fellow portly-to-obese rappers Big Pun, Notorious B.I.G., and Buffy the Human Beat Box await.  But until that day comes, I console myself with this great technique for shrimp with a shockingly low amount of muss and/or fuss.
