DEAR ABBY: What is the correct etiquette for eating shrimp? My husband says it's OK to eat it with your fingers -- even shrimp scampi. -- PAT IN TEXAS
DEAR PAT: According to Emily Post, shrimp can be eaten with the fingers "when served in a bowl or platter with a dip, or tail-on in shrimp cocktail." A fork should be used when it is served "tail-less in a shrimp cocktail or as a main course."
