no it does not but thanks 4 asking :-)
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
When Forrest Gump gave Bubba's mother her son's share of the profits from the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, she was overwhelmed with gratitude. She expressed her appreciation by thanking Forrest for honoring her son’s dream and legacy. This act not only highlighted the strong bond of friendship between Forrest and Bubba but also emphasized the importance of family and loyalty throughout the film.
Bubba and Forrest never caught shrimp together unfotunately. But prior to the war Bubba shrimped somewhere in Alabama, as did Forrest after the war.
Bubba lists 21 kinds of shrimp if you include the cooking methods. As quoted directly from the movie, "Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There's, um, shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp in potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That's, that's about it."
Delicious!
