Shrimp Heads

After that Moon-shooting walk it was time for dinner.  I saw these packets of boiled shrimp at the neighborhood market and couldn't resist picking one up.  Back home, I ate the bodies first, then deep-fried the heads;  with a little extra salt, pepper and paprika, they were crispy-crunchy on the outside and soft and tasty inside, the perfect drinking food with beer.  I did have to get used to them staring at me reproachfully with their fried eyes, though.  Seeing them like this, I see the point in the description of marine crustaceans as the "bugs of the sea".
