Why, in most pasta dishes, are the tails left on the shrimp??

Question

I think it would made the dishes more enjoyable, rather then picking out the shrimp to remove the tails.

Answer 1

I think its so you can hold on to it while you dip it in sauce or eat it.

Answer 2

Some people eat shrimp tails.  I think it is weird, but my husband says I'm the weird one for not eating them.

It also might add more flavor.

Answer 3

It looks nicer for the presentation.

Answer 4

I love shrimp tails!
