>>8724169

>>8723971
Shrimp costs too fucken much.

>>8724182
Do you want your ketchup to be on side to snowflake?

Shrimp killed my family once...

>eating literal sea insects

>low-calorie

Say that to butterfly deep fried shrimp.

It's a great source of methylmercury, the tastiest organic mercury compound.

>astaxanthin
u made that word up

>>8724193
Seriously. Like twice as much as chicken. They're fucking water bugs, what the fuck?

>>8723971
You mean prawns, right?

That was such an wonderful thread.

>>8724298
Do you happen to remember enough of it to find it on 4plebs or warosu? It was just a few months before I first found /ck/ and I never got to see it. :-(

Will the frozen shrimps from the asian grocer kill me? They are really cheap but i don't really trust frozen fish in general

>>8725217
My mom has been cooking with frozen shrimp for a while and we still alive

>>8725211
I think it was a guy that hit a deer with his car and ended up taking it home and butchering it in his bath tub.

>>8725222
Any good recipes for shrimps aside from paella? I rarely make seafood since i can't get anything fresh here

>>8725227
The other night she made some pasta with an olive oil/shrimp stock/cream sauce, obviously with some seared shrimp and scallops on top. Season with some salt and pepper, maybe some red pepper flakes

You could also always make some marinade and grill shrimp

I'm from Maryland, so some steamed old bay shrimp is always a classic

Shrimp are amazingly flexible. Soups, stir-fry, boil them, grill them, stir-fry, deep-fry, sauteed, in tacos, gumbo, gyoza filling....

Thanks guys, is there a difference in taste between the small shrimps and the big tiger shrimps?

>>8725249

They taste pretty similar. The bigger ones are less effort to get the meat out if you are peeling them since you have to peel fewer shrimp to get the same weight of meat. Smaller ones are usually cheaper, and are nice for some dishes because they're "bite size".

>>8724285
Ah, Mercury, sweetest of the transition metals.

>>8724291
Taste twice as good as chicken, too.

>>8724294
>too stupid to realize there's more than one term

Sure, buddy, insist on prawns if it makes you happy.

sounds hot, who is this mineral minstrel?

Shrimp doesn't taste good unless it's cooked in butter, which stops it being low calorie or quick to prepare.

>>8725323
Lol, what?

How is using butter slow to prepare? Toss some butter and garlic in a pan. Saute the shrimp. Takes less than 5 minutes, and that includes waiting for the pan to heat up.

And how is it "high calorie"? You don't drink the fat left over in the pan, you take the shrimp out. 99% of the butter or oil or whatever other fat you used drips off.

>>8725312
Wouldn't you like to know?

>>8725227
One of the purest and by far the easiest. Peel and eat shrimp.

>Apply old Bay liberally to shell on Shrimp
>Steam until shrimp turn pinkish orange
>Mix ketchup with horseradish to taste for cocktail sauce
>Serve with sauce, lemon quarters and pale beer

Congrats! You are now honorary tidewater trash!

Organic mercury is highly beneficial. It has anti-cancer properties and it's great for your nervous and endocrine systems.

>>8725323
idk even know what raw shrimp tastes like. is it even safe? i know they like to clean other fish, and r bottom feeders? but truth is always stranger than fiction
nvr heard of a shrimp tartare

>>8725323
See>>8725348

Butter helps, but it doesn't require it like lobster.

>>8725772
Raw shrimp doesn't taste that bad but the texture is awful.

As with most shellfish, it's not really safe to eat raw but you can get away with it if they're alive moments beforehand and you have a healthy immune system.

>>8725348
So theyre not really clean, do just pop them in your mouth or try to clean that shit part off?

>>8725797
You can devein if you want. I don't bother for that recipe, usually. It's not fine dining. I will if the vein is big and dark enough to be easily visible when raw.

Most of the ones that come out of the Chesapeake are surprisingly clean. Get a little string of algae or seaweed in a some maybe; not noticeable otherwise. Not like the ones with thick black lines of gritty, sandy shit.

>>8724163
That's tuna, bro

>>8725787
>raw shrimp

I ate some at a really good sushi restaurant in LA. They called them "sweet shrimp." I thought they were ok, but I prefer steamed.

>>8725921
>sweet shrimp

Fuck I love those. the best part is when they deep-fry the head and you can eat the whole thing, shell and all.

Breaded shrimps in sweet/sour sauce.
May looks disgusting, I swear: its fan-ta-stique

>>8724193
And the cheap shrimp is the shrimp raised in barrels of its own shit.

>>8725955
That reminded me of bang bang shrimp. So dank. Especially on top of lettuce and arugula; the sauce works well as addressing.

If you want to eat as leftovers, drizzle over the shrimp on plate instead of of tossing them in the sauce so the breading doesn't get mushy.

Next to 0 mercury in shrimp. l2fda

>>8725992
I never said they were. I made a joke/reference in response to the guy who did. L2imageboard.

>>8725894
Chicken is the tuna of the land.

>>8724200
But not twice. Eat your shramps.
