Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

Press the very start of the tail with your fork sideways so it's cut, then pull the shrimp from the tail with the fork and knife.

Anyway, the post is right, it's borderline violent insanity.

Yeah but that's such a fiddly process. I've sprayed pasta and sauce all over the table because my knife or fork slipped trying to do surgery on my food

I don’t get when a fancy restaurant does it. If it’s not a Cajun boil or similar vibe, please don’t try to make me look polite deconstructing seafood.

Great! My fork slipped while trying to perform this insane feat of dexterity and my shrimp flew across the restaurant!
