What is gross shrimp?

Gross shrimp is a term usually used to describe shrimp that has an unpleasant odor or appearance. This could be due to the shrimp being old or not properly stored and handled, leading to bacterial growth or decomposition. It is important to ensure that shrimp is purchased from a reputable source and cooked and stored properly to avoid any potential health risks. Fresh, properly cooked shrimp should have a mild, sweet odor and a firm, pinkish-white flesh.
