    I eat shrimp unpeeled. Learned to do it from Vietnamese restaurants. It’s not bad! It saves a shitton of time peeling them, the spices are usually on the outside so you get more flavor, and the shell gives a nice crunch. I don’t eat the tailfins tho that’s dumb. They’re hard, pointy, and have no meat.

    That said… I advocate for finding ways to incorporate insects into western diets. I think we need to start a program to breed them for purpose though. Just like how bananas used to be small and full of seeds but were bred to what they are today. Breed a grubworm or something to be better eatin’ and grow them in huge quantities. But no way am I eating a roach.
