There are ordinary amphipods, known to be mostly tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that thrive in aquatic environments around the world, and now there are "supergiant" amphipods, which are 10 times larger and, frankly, quite freakish-looking (see video and photo).
One shrimp will serve as an entire meal ...

While they only caught seven of the enormous amphipods, they saw several others, including some that measured about 13 inches.

Maybe you can be the first to try one. I’ll stop over for dinner, after a few hours if you’re still alive after eating your first one then maybe I’ll try one ...
Imagine a 13 inch shrimp on a subway footlong, mmmm ....

—33,000 feet below, seven milky-white amphipods measuring to about 11 inches, or the size of small lobsters. (Ordinary amphipods barely exceed 1 inch.)—
Which begs the question, how large are the LOBSTERS down there?!

That would at lest make me the 3rd bravest man to ever have lived. (#2 = first man to eat a lobster, #1 = first man to eat a raw oyster).

Yum! Light the barby, place those shrimp on wooden skewers, season with butter, garlic, lemon and pepper-grill until done...
