- The original title for this video was "Throwing Away Shrimp Shells is for Losers" but that might be too harsh and difficult to read.
- The star of the video is this Big Dogs t-shirt
- My $50/hr calculation is wrong. This pound of shrimp was about $2 less expensive than the pre-peeled option, so since it took me 4 minutes to peel each one, it's more like $30 an hour. Your rate will vary, depending on the price per pound and the number of shrimp per pound.
- Whenever I peel shrimp, it's because I'm about to cook them. For that reason, I always make stock in the background as I cook whatever I started out wanting to eat. After I'm done eating and the stock is cooled, I let it hang out in the fridge waiting for an application. In this video, I just made stock, because I didn't want to overwhelm the viewer with information. I anticipate at least a few comments like "what do i do with the shrimp meat tho"
- Shrimpy beans are so good it really does make the burrito taste like it should cost twice as much with all that shellfishy flavor. I don't think I would ever have a desire to cook lobster mac n cheese at home for two people, but I put the idea out there just in case.
- I think I look orange in this video. I can't tell.... My monitor is kinda wonky since the beer-filled GPU incident, but the colorscopes say it's fine. It might be because there's more white in the background instead of 80% brown cabinets. Nobody cares about this sort of stuff but damn I really do need those cabinets painted. It's always a matter of taking a half week off work or hiring a pro for a couple thousand dollars....
- The Haus read took like 6 takes so I ended up drinking like three whole glasses right before bed on a Monday. I worked from home with a hangover on Tuesday.
