Idk where this myth started from but shrimp and lobsters are crustaceans, a separate class of arthropods within the phylum arthropoda. arthropoda is a massive phylum and bugs belong to the class insecta. lobsters and shrimp belong to crustacea so calling shrimp bugs is like calling whales hippos because they're both from the clade artiodactyla /nerdmode off

I used to love shrimp but in the past few years I've started going off it, not sure why.

The line of arthropods that broke off to become Insecta did so in the Devonian Period, roughly 400 million years ago. Centipedes evolved in the fucking Silurian. Comparing these two groups is kinda like comparing raccoons, possums, and platypuses to fish.

Shrimp is shrimp and shrimp is bugs.

The question should not be whether that is a problem, the question is what other tasty bugs are you missing out on due to cultural programming?

Having tried chocolate locusts and spicy scorpions, I personally can say: not a lot, actually, I don't like any of them.
