What does 🍤 Fried Shrimp mean?
A golden fried shrimp, like Japanese ebi tempura or ebi fry. It covers seafood, tempura, sushi rolls and crispy fried snacks. Playfully, it can also tease someone small, since “shrimp” is a nickname for short people, or someone curled over their phone in a hunched “shrimp” posture. Use 🦐 when you mean the animal rather than the fried dish.
🍤 Fried Shrimp is an emoji from the Food & Drink category (asian foods), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about prawn and tempura.
