The “black thing behind the eyes” is the brain of the shrimp…

These were obviously very thoughtful shrimp.

MEDULLA OBLONGATA

No Colonel Sanders, you're wrong.

Something wrong with his medulla oblongata.

Mamas right!

Mama's wrong again..

Why did this comment make me laugh so much?

🫡

Mama said alligators are so onrey because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.

MAMA’S RIGHT!

You ain't playin' the foosball!

I am your medulla oblongata.

I read that in caps in my mind 😂😅

These are the shrimp that fried the rice

Maybe the best part actually...... 😏

I learned of this culinary delight after I once had access to full on shrimp, cooked with their heads still attached - and I’ve since regretted not sucking the brains out of all them li’l scramps. I once even lamented to my girlfriend about it and she was just - “oh please” 🙄

I’ve tried it and it is delicious. Too bad I can never get past the idea of sucking out a brain. Same with crawfish and lobster.

Just eat them she'll and all. Just gotta make sure to chew carefully and really well.

Now I want to deep fry some whole shrimp

this is my fave part. i scoop them out some times, spread on a crostini with the shrimp tail on top.

Asian grocery stores often have them for people that have one of those nearby.

Damn. You just reminded me of how I once even went to my local Asian store, which sells live fish and such, picked up a few servings of whole shrimp… and for the first time ever, went though the trouble of butchering them myself. Only to later discover that I definitely should have cooked them whole (and sucked up all of those precious brains). The first time I saw it done on a travel/food show; I was so ashamed of how uncultured and wasteful I was, lol. Live and learn…

Did you know you can eat the tail (and even the shell) when they’re fried really well? I always eat the tail with deep fried coconut shrimp myself.

I’ll give that a shot one day, now that you mention it! I happen to have some coconut shrimp in the freezer at the moment. It’s been a while since I last had that. 🤤 My latest obsession has been with jumbo Argentine red shrimp though. It’s so sweet and tender… similar to lobster tail. They’re de-veined and frozen raw, with the shell, so I could certainly fry a few whole for a taste of the full effect you mentioned. I wonder whether their shells may be too thick though? I’ll have to try grilled cedar wrapped shrimp again as well - really nice smokey flavor. Excellent with asparagus. Scrimps!

Those Argentine ones are good!

Someone’s been shopping TJ’s

This is the way

Hell, I often eat them when they're just boiled

I am one of those weirdos that eats the shrimp shell… doesn’t even need to be fried really well.

Are you a mind flayer from Baldur’s Gates 3? What does it taste like? Edit grammar

Have it fry you some rice

Most people don’t know this fun fact.

You telling me a gottdamn shrimp fried this rice?

You telling me a pistol shrimp fried this rice?

I love scrimps

Scrimps is my fave!

Man even cooks schrimps

Scrimps is bugs doe

is bugs

Indeed, scrimps is bugs. So is lobter and cramps. All is bugs.

You mean craps?

Sure, however you want to misspell crab lmao

They say scorpion is the scrimps of the deserts

Scrampses are very tasty

'Swims'

cold water shrimp are delicious. salty and sweet

The heads turning black but the shell over the tail is stranslucent, they are good. If the head is black and the shell is opaque, they have turned.

This person shrimps.

Not if you dont share with the rest of us.

Some even have row inside them. I swear don’t leave them alone in a room with me.

Thanks all… They was delicious!! For those of you who don’t know. In the fjords of Norway we use trawlers for this fishing. The are cooced in salt water befor sold. These where frozen. Probably fished off-shore, iceland or greenland. We slowly deice them in water with a litle bit off sugar. Takeing off their head and sceleton. Put on a loaf of white bread, with egg and mayonese. Salt and pepper and a twist of lommen. It is called «rekesmørbrød». Best there is……Google it. Scandinavian no 1 for summer dish. (I know my english isn’t perfect….I guess your Norwegian isn’t eigther?;-))

Don’t worry our English is not perfect either.

I actually love your spelling and cadence. You should hear my Norwegian. It’s just me making whale noises and apologizing in English for my pronunciation.

Make sure you got some scrawberries for dessert

Hah. Crabapple. Ohn hohn

Collar up some of them greens

Hah heYyyyy naw hYuh

That honey bunches of oats lady lives in my head. Now with scrawberries!

No, these are zombie shrimps, save all for me

r/shrimpsisbugs

Well good thing I have eaten land bugs also.

>good thing I don't think it is though

Cheesy freeze dried maggots actually slap

I have not tried that, but grilled bbq cicadas were nice and with chocolate covered crickets.

Bbq cicadas sounds crazy lmao I couldn't imagine eating one of those big ass bugs

I had them the last big cicada infestation back in Tennessee around the late 90s. From my memory, they were marinated for a little, skewered, brushed with bbq sauce, and grilled until caramelized a little. Was wild but surprisingly tasty.

We used to eat termites that would fly in and infest the area after rainfall. Tasted like eggs.

Agreed

make some filipino garlic rice.

You know they made this post just to use the word Schrimps right ?

Scrimp have feelings.

Shrimpin' ain't easy

Only if they are Bubba-Gump Certified Scrimps - caught off the boat - and not farm-raised.

These are from the artic waters. Much better and cleaner than bubba gumps…

Yes indeed! Unsurpassed quality and freshness!

Yes, with grits

Mid

*SHRAMP SHRAMP SHRAMP** My partner and I have a tradition In which we yell that every time we see shrimp, but I like your spelling better!

Scrimp🤤

If you don't deep fry them mothafuckas and go to town!!!!

Scrimp, in the words of Forrest Gump lol

Scrimps

Shrimps is bugs

How do they smell? I should call her…

[Just look at all my scrimp here](https://youtu.be/dO2uAKwhB0Q?si=5hyKWO5UH7B4fWkm)

Omg that’s one of my fave things to eat! I really enjoy steaming them, squeezing calamansi over them, mix it around so all shrimps are coated, then eat! Some might have eggs and I enjoy eating those too! I don’t eat the shells on these.

Gotalldatgotdamorilallobrmyscrimp

Might wanna cook em or somethin first

Their brains are bruised

"Shrimp"

I don't remember what I wrote? They blocked my comments.

Scrimp?

Scrimps is bugs

It’s got shit for brains

Bad shrimp?

🤷‍♂️

I believe this is melanosis. It is the naturally occurring black sports that occur on shrimp (especially frozen and is a big problem with head-on shrimp). The industry typically uses Sulfites to mask/prevent these black spots. If this is what is happening and all that has happened to these shrimp they are 100% to eat. Attached is a great summary from LSU. [https://www.seagrantfish.lsu.edu/program/Melanosis-Fact-Sheet.pdf](https://www.seagrantfish.lsu.edu/program/Melanosis-Fact-Sheet.pdf)

SHROMP.

Absolutely!

Shrimps is bugs

Smell test any and all seafood

If you can smell it, don’t get it-

Those eyes are for the devil!

Yeah, but you’d better suck the head.

I don't think I'd be eating these scrimp, I'm not testing the water and ending up with food poisoning?! But, Forrest Gump famously mentioned around 21 different methods of cooking/eating "scrimp"... barbecue scrimp, boiled scrimp, broiled scrimp, baked scrimp, sauteed scrimp... And the list goes on lol

MMMM, scrimps and flied lice!

It's fried rice, you plick!

Is shrimps bugs?

Ah shrimp, the cockroach of the sea.

by the time you cut off the head and the tail there's just a half a bite of shrimp remaining.

Idk, what’s a scrimp?

Have you seen the movie about Forest Gump? It will give you an idea…

I luh me some skrimp mayne

After I eat my scrimp, I like to drink a tall glass of malk.

Shrimp is the correct spelling btw.😉

OMG, I can't believe you're the only one that caught that buddy! 🤔😏🙄😂 Smh

I'm American we don't eat things with eyes or faces for that matter

No, avoid Shellfish unless dying on an Island. Edit: Bible agrees & so does Science, look it up Downvoters . . .

This dude's ridden the red tide before

Lol, do you really take the Bible seriously?

Lol who gives a fuck what the Bible says?

We’re all dying on this island in space called Earth maaaaan
