Agreed. Shrimp are nothing but large saltwater insects.

We also don't think too carefully about what "eggs" are...y'know, that bacon and eggs? Smoked and salted fatty pig flesh and chicken menstrual waste....mmmmmm gooood.

Actually it is my understanding that you have to be careful when eating locusts. I once read that they harbor bacteria that can be harmful to humans. If I recall correctly, they should be gutted first by pulling off the head, and with it the intestines, before cooking them. Don't ask for a reference, it's just once of those useless pieces of information that rattles around my head.

Cook them or eat it raw?

I picture him to grab one and eat it alive like on the tv show fear factor.

Um, it's not such a good idea to eat insects now. You know, the pollution and toxins inside them. Nasty pesticides...oh well...
