Indeed.

Oddly enough, it's difficult (at least around here) to get them totally
raw as sashimi/sushi. Most of the shrimp "sashimi" is still very lightly
cooked.

Yes, I know that sashimi is supposed to be raw and I have no trouble
getting raw tuna, salmon, octopus and even quail eggs, but the shrimp
has never appeared to be totally raw. Wrong color and texture.
