The thing about Shrimp and Lobster, is, that I always wonder who the
first guy was that picked up a dead lobster on the beach and thought
"hmmm I wonder what THIS tastes like?" Can you even imaging eating a
large dead bug? Some one must have been very hungry.

From what I have heard and read, the lobster was eaten by the indians
before the arrival of the Europeans in the 1600's. I imagine that the
shrimp was the same story.
Of course! the same you can say about eating crabs! and shells!
