Shrimp?

One morning a teacher brought some food to school and invited us to eat. It was cous cous topped with what appeared to be popcorn shrimp. Shrimp seems unlikely, though, as I’ve never heard of it being sold in or around my village before. So maybe it was popcorn chicken. But that seems equally unlikely. In all of The Gambia I have never seen chicken cut into thin little pieces, breaded, and dropped in boiling oil.

Well, whatever I ate, it was delicious.
