Dive in: Shrimp are in season. I recently found some swimming in the seafood tank at the I.D.
's Sun-Ya Seafood Restaurant. I also ordered a bunch simply steamed at T T Seafood Restaurant in Edmonds, where I pulled off their heads, shucked off their shells and bathed them in a chile- and ginger-laced dipping sauce. Expensive at about $17/pound, but hey: I'm worth it!
(Sun Ya, 605 Seventh Ave. S., 206-623-1670; T T Seafood, 22511 Highway 99, Edmonds, 425-776-3832.

Check out the new two-disc edition of this Zen martial-arts odyssey or oddity. Bruce Lee wrote the laughably silly yet occasionally profound cult flick with friend and student James Coburn and Stirling Silliphant, the legendary screenwriter behind "Route 66" and "In the Heat of the Night." Made after Lee's death, it stars David Carradine, who circle of irony beat Lee out for the "Kung Fu" series.

It's always fun to see what's up each spring when the latest group of Master of Fine Art candidates installs its graduate show at the University of Washington. This year Kristine Veith's kinetic sculpture "Pressure" stands out for its simple materials and bizarre behavior: Five life-sized humanoid forms stitched of white silk stand together on a platform.
As air flows sporadically into them from below, the inflated figures jitter and swoon in a mesmerizing dance. The MFA show continues through June 17 at the UW's Henry Art Gallery, 4100 15th Ave. N.
E., Seattle (206-543-2280 or ).
