What was the last thing you cooked?

We shelled them at the table as we ate them.

Where I live, shelling is usually done AFTER cooking, and while at the table.
I think this is the Australian way.
Probably, not the way things are done at Outdated's "side of town", however. 🤔

Americans shell shrimp either before cooking or after cooking. It depends on what we're cooking and eating. There is no "rule" here. The same is true for crawfish. Many Australian recipes call for shelled shrimp so there's no one way to do it in Australia, either.

The Aussie Christmas tradition, over here in the east at least, is to sit down, and shell a big pile of prawns while eating them, making it the main meal.
Shrimp/prawns added to a cooked meal are shelled first. 🍤

I don't eat seafood, btw. :cool:
 
I made some ramen, mostly following a recipe from Wegmans (substituted the organic chicken bone broth with regular chicken stock because it was cheaper and had to substitute the frozen veggies they wanted me to use for a different frozen veggies cuz the ones they wanted me to get was out of stock).

Crawfish boils, seafood, lobster, and shrimp boils, steamed oysters, crab boils, mussel and clam bakes - all of these celebratory communal feasts are traditional in the US. All are cooked without shelling the shellfish. I add potatoes, corn on the cob, onions, peppers and lots of other things to the pot when we have a seafood boil. When it's ready, everything is dumped on big picnic tables and everyone digs in, shelling as they go. Lots of fun and very tasty.
