I have actually never even seen a mantis shrimp before and there it was in front me of me while I was at a friend’s house. The mantis shrimp is quite large, long and strange. These creatures are boiled whole and eaten out of the shell. I really liked the taste and texture of this shrimp. It was sweet and more tender than a lobster. It is a real delicacy to me and I would like to buy this shrimp and cook it myself.

I would like to try this creature with garlic sauce. I would even put it in a paella.
