Doesn't the name Killer Shrimp make you chuckle a little? Thinking about those tiny, harmless critters floating around in the ocean, all unbothered, and then to just become completely intimidating... it just gives us a good laugh. Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming. These plump, coastal bites might not be scary, but when combined with the garlicy, tomatoey broth they're swimming in, they're sure to freak your taste buds out in the best way possible! They won't know what hit them, but yet will be begging for more! So, watch out! These Killer Shrimp aren't joking around. They're on the prowl and ready to satisfy!
