I have been piling up shrimp tails since I was a kid the 80s OP. I've never seen anyone eat a shrimp tail on purpose.

Pinch the base of the tail and all the meat comes out. Any other way is wasteful or nasty.

They have stabby things on their heads, and base of tails, and the shell doesn't even have flavor or add anything..
Why in blue hell would you eat it? |

I’m pretty sure the shells are made from keratin, like fingernails. There’s no nutritional value and I can’t imagine that’s good on the way out.

I saw two different people biting the shrimp and then piling up the tails on their plates. When did this shit start? View Quote Tune in for OP's next outrage, "I saw people putting mustard on a hot dog. WTF?" |

WTF, OP. I squeeze out the meat left in the tails when I BITE OFF THE TAILS. View Quote I've accidently ate part of the tail shell before and I got horrible heartburn from it. I'm now very careful to make sure that I get the meat out of the tail and no shell when I bite them off. |

Fuck that. And not worried about the tail meat either, I'll just order an extra one and make up for that bit of tail meat.

Only if they're fried. As a kid, my mother told me it was good for you, lots of calcium. Didn't find out until a few years ago she said it as a joke. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/k5DXVAa3eWY/maxresdefault.jpg Meh, I like 'em. But boiled? Dass jus' stoopid! View Quote Shisho Leaf! |

OP is from AL, probably eats the legs and head too and the occasional road kill sitting in the hot sun

When eating shrimp at an AYCE restaurant I'll pile the tails up and if another plate takes too long to arrive I'll start eating the tails with pepper and mayonnaise.

Is this a third world country where we just lost a war?
If so, I'm doing cannibalism before I'm eating shrimp tails. |

Plus, you don't waste any tail meat. View Quote In America, we don’t eat shrimp tails. Take that shit back to Vietnam. |

Hell yes.
Tasty and crunchy. Edit. People will eat ass and not eat a shrimp tail. The fuck is wrong with society ? |

I do all the time. The wife and kids think its disgusting.
I went to a hibachi many years ago with some real life Japanese guys. They put the tails on the grill and got them extra crispy. They were downing sapporos and popping the tails back like we would do peanuts at a bar. I tried it and liked it so i continue to this day doing it. |
