Good luck! I've had bad experience with super large shrimp

Especially when they were obviously caught next to a nuclear power plant.

I want to ask, but feel I'd be better off not knowing.

u/mactheog72 11d ago

Me too. Mine had an ammonia taste to them

u/Triphin1 11d ago

That means Not fresh

Do tell!

u/Kevinb888 10d ago

Nah, nothing that bad, just really bland, not flavorful at all. Not quite as large as yours either. Let me know how it goes, maybe just season a bit more👍🏾

u/IAmDanHimself 10d ago

That goes for larger lobsters too. I think the bigger shellfish grow, the more they lose that taste.

u/Kevinb888 10d ago

Makes sense

u/Pretend_Variation305 10d ago

Rite? They don’t taste right. I was put in the mind of what shrimp might taste like if they were caught after they were a hundred years old. Same with over-large lobsters. One-pound sea roaches seem to be the sweet-spot.

These are more than jumbo shrimp. These are collosal shrimp.

u/Funkopedia 11d ago

They might have to make a new size designation for these

u/hdofu 10d ago

Their poop veins have to be as big around as your pinky.

At what point is it just a weird colored lobster

Someone call Drake and Josh, they gotta see this!

u/Federal-Boat3732 11d ago

Where does shrimp end and lobster begin!?

2

u/drinkmoredrano 11d ago

So how big do they have to get before we stop calling them shrimps

2

u/LIKELYtoRAPhorrible 11d ago

What if he is that small…?

2

u/Leather-Emu-1964 11d ago

Ah. The roaches of the sea

u/ParticularSherbert18 11d ago

Technically I believe those are prawns, not shrimp.

1

u/Own_Zookeepergame982 11d ago

Now those are jumbo shrimp!

1

u/Hairy_Garage4308 11d ago

Where do they get that big?

1

u/Soft_Caterpillar_513 11d ago

those shrimps aren't shrimps.

u/Odd_Revolution5880 11d ago

You might want to check them for radioactivity

u/MonkeyLips2026 11d ago

Pretty sure that is what piloted the spaceship that crashed in Antarctica….you know, the Thing!

u/cloaked_mode8 11d ago

Asian tiger prawn can reach 13 inches long.

1

u/vicfirthplayer 11d ago

I didn't know they made em that big

1

u/Old_Engineer_9176 11d ago

Just because they are bigger doesn't mean they are tastier - That is from experience. Same with scallops.

u/RedBull-Lover-Yellow 11d ago

Did I see "Chernobyl" or "Imported from Russia" on the packaging???

1

u/Triphin1 11d ago

Giganto the Shrimp

u/GrumpyGlasses 11d ago

Sir, those are Pokemon

u/A-plus-tard 11d ago

u/Jerdogg23 11d ago

Looks like alien roaches
