I think eating the whole shrimp just freaks me out.

Heads (full of flavor, like unto sucking crawfish haids) and shells are pretty normal fare, but my gripe has to do with the frequency with which shrimp are 'de-veined", removing one of the real contributions to flavor. Nothing wrong with that little ribbon of goodness and that which it adds to shrimp...
