No. I did switch to eating larger shrimp so there’s less work involved.

There are ways of cooking shrimp that break the shell down to the point that it’s more like crispy salmon skin.

No. It absolutely interferes with my enjoyment of shrimp, I don’t want to be interrupted with the crunchy unpleasant skin and tail, no. Take them off and make a shrimp broth, then you keep the flavor and the texture. I hate when the tails are left on in pastas & pilafs or similar. If it’s a shrimp boil I peel them.

No, but I do something similar. I eat corn on the cob without unwrapping the husk.

They can be used for flavoring but I would not eat the shells.

Depends on how they are cooked. I hate popcorn because I always end up with little bits of hull Stu k in my throat. Same goes for shrimp. If it’s cooked well enough that that doesn’t happen, I’m fine to eat them

Yes, and tails too depending on how difficult it is to eat them.

I suspect it’s like eating your fingernails or hair.

But, tactical dot!

I don’t, because it would require a trip to the hospital. Ain’t allergies fun?

But they’re not exactly easy to digest anyway, and how they’re cooked matters to the people I know that do eat them

When it’s crispy fried shrimp, yes. Any other time, no.

Yes I do

For small shrimp yes to save time but for larger shrimps no

Only if they’re small and fried

I’m always worried about cutting my tongue on the shells, though that worry mainly surfaces when eating sushi. They can be sharp, and the tongue does not seem like a fun place for a paper cut.

Your body has a hard time digesting them so it will likely give you a hell of a stomach ache/bad shits if you keep doing that. Just take them off man.
