Overview

People love seafood! ...And Shrimp. LOTS of Shrimp - Garlic shrimp, breaded shrimp, dipping in shrimp cocktail or melted butter. Big restaurant chains recognized this, and many of the bigs such as Red Lobster started offering customers 'Endless shrimp' deals... What could go wrong? As time went on, they quickly found out - their financial well being got stuck in a downward spiral, with HEAVY losses. Were you ever able to part-take in endless shrimp deals while they were offered? How many do you think YOU ate?
