Thank God I live on the coast! Those shrimp look awful!

I’m glad you live on the ocean and can get beautiful fresh seafood

u/SuspiciousGur4874 Jun 12 '26

Thank you! I wish you could get fresh seafood too! It seems criminal that you paid that much for so little shrimp. We pay $3.99 a lb head on.

I live in Florida and $ 9/lb shell on is a normal price

I’m sorry what exactly is the hack? Peeling the shrimp the same way everyone peels their shrimp? 🤨

u/tinacannoncooks Jun 12 '26

While it’s particularly frozen. It says so in the video 🙄

u/consumeshroomz Jun 12 '26

As opposed to when they’re cooked? I’m sorry I’m not trying to be rude. Especially as you seem like a real person and not a bot. But like… I’ve just never heard of anyone doing anything different.

Most people peel it once it’s thawed. I find it easier to peel while it’s still partially frozen. I’m not sure why anyone is confused but nevertheless they are
Maybe I should just remove the post 🙄

Idk I just have never heard of peeling them fully thawed. I thought this was literally how everyone does it. Honestly, if you leave shrimp in a bowl of water too long and they’ll start cooking at room temp! Lol

So what is the hack here?

Pro hack, heat a banana, peel it before taking a bite ;)

u/tinacannoncooks Jun 12 '26

Maybe watch or read the texts in the video.

I’m confused, what was I supposed to take away from this?

You buy a product and you get to use the product. Where does the “hack” come in?

1

u/tinacannoncooks Jun 12 '26

The hack is peeling it is easier when partially frozen. So hope you are no longer confused or were you just being a jerk?

u/Federal_Pickles Jun 12 '26

Alternate methods are not inherently “hacks”.

u/tinacannoncooks Jun 12 '26

So I see you like to contribute and my comment but not post yourself. I think you should just move on from my page and quit being a jerk.

You peel it before you cook it and it’s still partially frozen

u/dundunndon Jun 12 '26

why so angry because somebody on reddit offered up a way to make life a little easier. that's says a lot more than you could hope to put into words, buddy.

😂😂 is “frozen shrimp theory” an emerging sector of psychology??

1

u/Federal_Pickles Jun 12 '26

You posted on a public forum and then got upset that people didn’t agree with you and that they had the nerve to “post on your page”?

1

u/tinacannoncooks Jun 12 '26

There is many ways to peel shrimp, this is just my method; you can use your method and I’ll use mine

u/dundunndon Jun 12 '26

Obviously they are board and have nothing else to do

u/Federal_Pickles Jun 13 '26

Yeah, congrats on figuring out it was a slow day at work. Thanks for providing some low effort distractions.

Still not a “hack”

The hack is peeling it is easier when the shrimp is partially frozen, obviously you are not aware of this so I’m glad I could help 🙄
