Question

Can you eat shrimp raw?

Answer 1

Some people have eaten raw shrimp and have been just fine but eating raw shrimp is really not all that safe and not recommended.

When you eat raw shrimp you risk getting food poisoning from the raw shrimp due to bacteria that can be contained in the raw shrimp.

Raw Shrimp also tastes awful at least to me when i tried it and couldn't get even one piece of raw shrimp down my throat.

According to health regulations the shrimp is unsafe to eat when raw and it's not recommended.

Always cook the shrimp and any other shell fish to prevent the possibility of getting food poisoning.

Answer 2

Shrimp can be eaten raw or undercooked as long as you're not pregnant.

If you're pregnant you should not eat raw shrimp or any raw fish as it could contain parasites that could cause health issues with the unborn baby and pregnancy.

Also there's a small chance that you could get sick from bacteria and parasites that the raw shrimp could contain.

However many people safely eat raw shrimp all the time without getting sick.
