Anyone else think that deveining shrimp is such a pain in the ass you'd rather just eat the poop?
>>9423967
Anyone else fall for bait, and be desperate for a thread?
>>9423967
I occasionally do. Especially when eating crawfish.
>>9423967
wait thats really poop? I thought removing it was optional and just a texture thing
I never remove it
>>9424141
It's a digestive tract. It mostly just affects texture. It's a little gritty if you cook shrimp with it in. It's not the worst thing ever if you leave it in.
When I'm eating out I expect it to be removed.otherwise it probably means the prawns were frozen
I happen to be a line cook at a seafood place that specialises in local caught seafood. Everyone BOH from the owners and the Chef to dishwashers are pressed into shrimp peeling mulitiple 50lbs boxes a day. We use shrimp devainers (pictured). We have used very expensive machine to peel and devain shrimp, but nothing works las well as a $5 shrimp devainer.

Just eat it, I've seen my dog eat his own shit, throw it up, and then eat it again. Little bit of shrimp shit can't be that bad
>>9424146
But grit IS the worst thing ever and literally ruins food.
>>9424141
A lot of what's there is sand. Do you like eating sand?
>>9424361
Do you imagine how many millions of ppl eat shrimp like this. And by your logic eat sand. There is not even 1 gram of sand inside a shrimp its something like 0.03 or some shit. It goes in and goes out together with poop.
>>9423967
If you're using shrimp, just buy it frozen or from the seafood counter where it's already been processed.
For prawns and larger shrimp, it's really not that hard and cooking it with the vein in will absolutely ruin the flavor and texture.

Unless you're buying it right at a dock, it was definitely frozen. Even in towns with big shrimping industries, they'll commonly catch the shrimp, freeze it, send it somewhere else to be processed, freeze it again, ship it back, and market it as "local."
I just eat it as it is, a lot of elders eat shrimps with tail legs and shell here
>>9423967
In Spain we usually do but I often de-vein them because sometimes it looks like they've given the shrimps a last meal, they're so full of poopies :|
>>9424361
I hate sand. Its coarse and rough, and it gets everywhere.
>>9424361
I always have a shaker of sand on hand to add texture to meals.
>>9423967
I never devein. Total waste of time.
I don't take the poop out of my wife's butt before I eat her ass, sure as shit ain't gonna waste my time doing it for shrimp
>>9424990
top fucking kek

Neat

This is one of the only kitchen gadgets that actually works well. It saves so much time
Why isn't there an intensive breeding program to create ever larger shrimp?
Shrimp should be big enough that you need to use a knife and fork..
>>9426496
Shut up Anakin.
>>9424193
I had one of these, but it never worked quite as well for me as the good ol' Cajun way, with the outside tine of a sideways fork
>>9427049
Because the trade off is usually flavor.
>>9427049
Come to Alaska in the late spring / summer.

...I actually did when I was a kid.
>>9428374
Me too, I'd slap my palm into the dirt and lick it off, then use the wet hand and collect more.
That was probably kind of gross in retrospect, I think I had a mineral deficiency or something like when pregnant women eat chalk.

do you often break your fingers?
their eyes so popped out and globular eww
>>9424193
Why are the shrimp so vain? Do they know they taste good
>>9428755
They probably think that song was about them.
>>9428205
>they look like gambones
gambones are pleb tier shrimp

I had my hand slammed in a door when I was younger and fucked my fingers up, have been good for playing piano tho. Also the red dollar sign was to remind myself so I didn't forget my cash stuffed in the boat. There's always the chance of going overboard. Money on the bottom of the sea is useless.
