How to Effectively Catch and Cook Shrimp Using Only Primitive Technology

Primitive Technology demonstrates how to weave an effective shrimp trap and cook what it catches using only materials found in nature and simple tools.

Shrimp (and fish) traps are simple traps designed to catch aquatic life due to their shape. It consists of a simple basket with a funnel shaped entrance. Shrimp easily find their way into the trap as they are funneled in, but have difficulty finding the way out.
I wove the main body of the trap from lawyer cane then made the funnel from sticks with vines woven between them. The funnel was then inserted in the top of the basket and was complete.
