    The following question was recently posted to the crustacean list. I
    thought perhaps someone on this list might be able to help with the
    answer.

    I understand that popcorn shrimp are not peeled but "washed" or
    otherwise processed with some type of acid to remove their shell. What
    is the acid? What is the process, i.e., must the shrimp be them
    "washed" with something else to counteract the acid? I understand that
    ALL the popcorn shrimp are done in one state. Which state is it?

    Thank you for your time in responding
    Joe
