LWFS -- why do restaurants leave the shell portion of a shrimp tail on other than to be annoying?

I don't eat shrimp; problem solved. As for BBQ, the best I've ever had was Lutz's BBQ in Jefferson City, MO. It's located at a gas station but it's heavenly. The meat is like butter, the sauces are outrageous, and the spiral chips are to die for. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Best BBQ I remember having (though I don't remember the place, I'll have to research) was outside of Dallas many moons ago. I'm taking up smoking in 2017.

Before you do that, read the Surgeon General's report. Although if it's Trump's Surgeon General, it might be bogus

If it's fried/otherwise hot, it's a convenient handle for dippin' n' such. But if you're going for shrimp or prawn in something saucy or stewed (cioppino or bouillabaisse, say)... eating the shell isn't a terrible way to go. The animal's already been cleaned, and there's a lot of good scrimps-y flavor in there... especially in the head.

I could never eat shrimp shells, I'd probably gag and choke.
