Had an unopened bag of shrimp thawing in the fridge...

[Deja Q]

Poll question: Had an unopened bag of shrimp thawing in the fridge...

for 1 week.

Should I eat 'em or dump 'em?

1. for cryin' out loud

Louisiana is checking it to say if the shrimp is frozen at any point it's no damn good.

2. Sorry that's just too old for uncooked shrimp

chalk it up

[Rowdyboy]

3. Dump them

Don't take a chance on making yourself sick. You might develop a seafood aversion which, to me, is the equivilent of a death sentence. Its not worth taking the chance for a few dollars worth of shrimp.

4. I think if you open the bag

and take a whiff, you won't need the poll anymore.

5. LMAO!

Agreed!

[mmm]

6. eat them and see what happens

7. Ever have salmonella poisoning? Not fun! Dump it! nt

8. You could give them a "cat scan"

If you have a cat, that is, especially a finicky one. If you're not sure about a meat item, let the cat sniff it. If she stays interested, it's probably safe.

9. Cooked or uncooked?

...I mean before they were frozen. ;)

Pre-cooked, hell. I'd eat 'em.

11. They were pre-cooked...

They smelled fine, but I dumped 'em. :-)

And now for my next poll, "Should I engage in unprotected love making?" ... :eyes:

10. hrmm...

evidently 8% of DU'ers want HynoToad to projectile vomit.

Toss'em!!!

And where's the Robb is a dingbat choice?

12. Feed them to your cichlids

put them back in the freezer, pull out 1 or 2 a day, smash them & feed them to your fish.

My cichlids relish smashed shrimp, they don't care how old it is.
