About 5 years ago I ate shrimp for the first time & realized I was allergic to it. I'd break out in hives from head to toe & everywhere between lasting 3-4 days!! Recently I've learned that if Shrimp is deep fried longer than usual it removes the iodine & I can safely eat it without any adverse effects. While my BF asked the waitress last night to cook it longer because of allergies a guy overheard & came over to our table & asked what cooking it longer had to do with it. I explained it to him & we sat together for about 2 hours talking & made a new friend. Planning on him & his GF going bowling soon. After being asked by someone else with allergies themselves I thought I'd pass this along. If you try doing this eat lightly at first & check self for any reactions. I wouldn't want to pass info along & cause a reaction. But, this works for me. I love shrimp & so glad I found this out & can now safely eat it!! I've been safely doing this for about 6 months without a reaction.

That would suck I love shrimp. Lots of people have reactions to shellfish. I was at a lobster boil years ago and my sister in law had a reaction. I swear her lips swelled up like 5 times the original size. It was freaky.........

I really don't know about the flavor since I'd only eaten it the one time & had a reaction. I'd tried eating it twice more having the same reaction. My son is a manager in a restaurant that sells shrimp & he passed it on to me. I had him to fix me some & realized I could sucessfully eat it cooked this way. Guess it's better than loving it & not being able to eat it at all! |

Does the iodine in salt bother you also?

Does the iodine in salt bother you also? I never have been one much for salt. Due to high BP I use sea salt instead of the iodized. I can eat strawberries & someone told me they have iodine in them. |

I wouldn't take the chance on anything shell fish any more than I would alcohol. Both have an extremely high chance of something bad happening. A couple years ago, I tried crab meat... throat closed up significantly, not to the point of anaphaleptic shock, but pretty darned close. That was the first time in adulthood I had anything shrimp/shell fish related, confirming it was another type of food to avoid. Cross contamination is also a minor issue, but not nearly as bad as voluntarily choosing to poison myself.
