That's right. Zimmern eats the tail with the shell still on. A quick poll of the CultureMap office confirmed no one has ever seen anyone else eat crawfish this way. Peeling the crawfish to extract the meat from the tail is a required, if laborious, part of eating mudbugs. Eating crawfish with the shell on makes about as much sense as eating a banana without removing the peel. Sure, the spice and butter mixture mostly stays on the shell and doesn't flavor the tail meat very much, but that's why people suck the heads — to get the rush of flavor.

He did an episode at Pascale Manale’s and ate the bbq’d ahrimp without pealing it. Tried to justify it by saying that’s where all the flavor was while he struggled to chew the shell. The cook looked at him like he was crazy. The next shrimp he peeled.

It was either him or Guy Fieri. Neither would surprise me.

That's actually somewhat understandable compared to a crawfish I think.

Hell, a lot of people fry the shrimp head to eat whole as spiders.

That wasn't the tail, it was the body and the small legs with the head taken off. Not that it makes it any better.

I eat the shrimp shell pretty often

I peel it back to the tail and eat the tail. The crunch makes it so much better!

I twist off the upper spike/sharp point on the (shrimp) tail if I eat the unpeeled tail section. That thing is hard & pointy enough to be dangerous to a human GI tract.

Fried shrimp heads are one of my favorite things to eat.

Yeah, I caught that too. No truth in the media with their stories. Kind of like eating the "spider" in shrimp is what he did.

And where were those mudbugs cooked with that "sprinkle the seasoning over boiled crawfish crap".

Eating bbq shrimp peels is like eating fingernails. No thanks.
