Why would I do that?
I will say that I have a friend that eats the shrimp tails. I could never do that. I think it takes away from the tastiness and texture of the shrimp. How could he? I do not know but he also eats peanuts, shell and all.
Looks awesome - and done right. It's also a pet peeve of mine when shrimp, tails and all, are cooked into a sauce.
My first dog ate bunch of them and got allergic reaction. Spots of hair loss and skin rashes all over the body/head occurred. It took weeks to go away. Not sure if it's an isolated case.I feed the tails to the dogs. They like 'em fine. Not me.
I just saw a bag of deep fried peanuts with "eat them shells and all!" on the label.
No thanks to shrimp or peanut shells.
