A Luscious, Delish, Crispy Day

By Trinity Marshall

I remember a time on a warm, sunny day at my mom’s house, and to this day, I remember the taste of shrimp, rice, and noodles. Here is a short story of why shrimp, rice, and noodles is the best meal I had in a while. I was in my room and heard my mom calling me for dinner. As I walk out of my room, I smell a warm heat of cheese and rice. I watched the noodles bubbling with the rice and watched my mom placing it onto my plate, watching the shrimp sizzling, and hearing my stomach singing for food. Meanwhile, my mom handed my plate in my hands, and I gasped. Staring deeply into my plate with excitement and joy for shrimp, rice, and cheesy noodles. I thanked her and tried not to explode into tiny pieces. The smell is just the smell of a volcano of shrimp, rice, and cheesy noodles, big noodles smashing into the hot rice. The steam of the shrimp blasts into my face. It felt like a warm, hot, sunny day in the sunlight. My mouth watered and my eyes got weak. I just wanted to smash right in the delish treat.

I grabbed my fork and smashed it into the cheesy noodles. Grabbing a shrimp and sucking all the flavors. Placing my fork in the rice and watching the steam in the air. Taking a bite of the rice, I felt my heart had stopped. The nice sweet taste in the rice is like if I took a fresh cupcake from a unicorn. I got curious and took a scoop of each portion. I took off the shrimp shell, sucking off all the flavor on it, and placed it with the rice and noodles. And when I took THE BITE, my heart stopped for a second. I actually gasped at how flavorful it was. The cheesy noodles have taken

my soul and left my body. Tasting the salt and special sauce takes over inside my mouth. The shrimp was very crunchy and had lots of flavor, feeling the pepper in my bones. Taking a bite of the rice felt very hot and warm inside. Feeling the crunch and burning hotness inside. I took my last bite and it was out of this world. Literally! I felt my mouth watering and left my body. It felt and tasted very different, like I had gotten a plate from the heavens. I finished the scraps of my plate and asked for another dish. As soon as I took a bite, it tasted much, much different than I expected. It tasted like more excitement than usual. It was more dainty than usual. It felt like I had gone up to space and stayed on the moon. I took a bite, and it felt like I got eaten by a dinosaur. Feeling myself getting taken out of my body and back, thanking my mother for the flavorful plate of heaven. I finished my second plate and placed it in the sink, still smelling the shrimp. Washing my plate, smelling the amazing kitchen smell of shrimp and noodles. Still remembering the luscious plate of shrimp, rice, and noodles. That’s why rice, shrimp, and noodles are the best meals to me. The next time you feel hungry or don’t know what to eat for dinner, eat rice, noodles, and shrimp.
