You don't expect me to eat just one shrimp do you? That would be as bad as just serving me one oyster.

It's a southern THANG.

“Shrimps”...It sounds like a way to reference a bunch of little kids or short people.

I suppose if you had several varieties of shrimp to eat (fantail, tiger, Gulf) they would be considered shrimps, sorta like different nationalities of people are called peoples.

But back where I come from (The USA) the plural of shrimp...is shrimp. (just like fish or deer)
