I must admit. I LOVE how freaked out [Americans/Non-Asians/those who are otherwise not accustomed to it] get when they see whole miniature prawn of any kind served in dishes. Be it fried, steamed, what have you... Typically I sit back at the table laughing and popping them in whole like Popcorn Shrimp HAH! (that was lame) while, namely, white friends are staring at the serving dishes in horror and weakly muttering something about beady little eyes staring back at them.
But really, though you probably won't believe me if you are one of these terrified souls, they are simply delectable and I actually like these whole rather than painstakingly peeled individually. OM NOM NOM. Give them a try some time.
PS -- The above pictures were taken on my trip to China in 2007.
