How to eat galera shrimp?
Galera/mantis shrimp are tricky to eat due to the very sharp edges on the bottom area of the shell. A good way to eat it is to remove the tail part and carefully soak all the meat and juice out of that opening. Galera shrimp is unlikely to come out from the shell as a whole piece as in other shrimp, that is another reason why soaking the meat and juices is the best way to enjoy it.
