yes but there's a distinction with lobsters, crabs and crawfish that shrimp do not posses:

THEY TASTE GOOD.

Shrimp taste like rubbery turds. there's a reason the cocktail comes with a bucket of ketchup garbage.

They taste fine to me. Are you sure you had them prepared by a competent chef? Sure they can taste awful, but they don't have to.

I've had them so many different ways. Prepared well, they can be fine, but never good (in my opinion). Drenched in butter, the butter and seasoning can taste good and the shrimp is just there.

had them in the us, uk, hk, mexico, brazil, prawns to wee 'uns, and I thoroughly enjoy damn near the rest of the ocean's bounty. something different about shrimp. they'aint right.

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 4 points 2 days ago

Fair enough. They do have a distinctive flavor.

Shrimp taste very similar to crawfish to me. I can't really tell the difference. I like both, though.

shrimp kinda taste like dirt to me, but i like crab.
However I did learn that my throat feeling like it was closing up after eating seafood ISNT normal and went to the doctor and now I'm not allowed to eat crab anymore :(

crawfish have a flavor to them and aren't as rubbery. closer to scallops to my tastebuds.

shrimp taste like canned assholes even when they're fresh.

YMMV, that's why it's called taste.
