Invasion of the Jumbo Shrimp

Are they tasty?

Our shrimp must be scared to death.

Quite.

So what’s the problem? They eat up little shrimp and we eat them.
Just a middle man, and more fun for us.

I prefer the ones without spots.

Yeah. I mean, couldn’t we basically wipe them out by fishing the shit out of them?

Yeah, just post lots of recipes along with coupons for butter. Alternately, some hungry cats can assist with disposal.

[sigh]Lobsters without the hassle…[/sigh]

Protecting the environment has never been so tasty.

(Actually, I’m not personally fond of seafood, but perhaps we could unleash the massed Cajunpower of south Louisiana on the problem.)

Let’s not Be Too Hasty.
Arkansans want to do their bit, too.

Most delicious invasion ever!

I always did want to cut up the middle man…

I, for one, welcome our new … aw, screw it! Pass the cocktail sauce!

According to USGS they may be escaped farmed shrimp. Which means they would be very edible as I doubt they were farmed as pets. They are also called Tiger Prawns.

They’re pretty ugly.

Penaeus monodon? Yeah, they’re food.

But where are the damn Terminology Police? Eating smaller shrimp doesn’t make you a cannibal. If I ate a Capuchin (the monkey, not the monk), people might be disgusted, but I wouldn’t be a cannibal. I don’t doubt that tiger prawns eat smaller tiger prawns, but it’s always common among creatures like that. But the article implies that they’re different species.

We should really be worried about the yellow-skinned perverted cannibalistic hermaphrodites.

Wow those things are creepy looking. Just image searched Asian tiger shrimp, not sure I’d want to be eating that…

Other than size, how do they look different from other shrimp ?

It’s about frackin’ time for a new SyFy Channel movie, anyway.
