Etiquette of eating shrimp:  If large shrimp are served on a platter with sauce and no fork, pick up with your fingers, dip into sauce and put to your mouth.  When eating shrimp with the tail still on, hold the shrimp by the tail and dip it into the sauce once.  Eat it in one bite if it is not too large.  Otherwise, eat it in two bites.  Do not dunk the second bite into the sauce!  Then discard the tail as you would olive pits or toothpicks.  So, be prepared and have plenty of napkins on hand.
