Best Answer

If the meat does not fit in the shell, if the shells are spotted with black or the meat appears discolored. This does not include tiger shrimp, which naturally have a dark shell with black stripes. As well, if the body of the shrimp is mangled or ripped, or if the shrimp smell of iodine or ammonia.

You can't always tell, but if they smell bad they probably are. But some people have a lot more sensitive sense of smell than others. Of course a biologist can try to culture bacteria from it and see what turns up.

Yes. Raw shrimp can spoil. When it does, it usually smells like ammonia.

If it does the exact opposite of everything you tell it - or if it doesn't call you the next day.

Shrimp can go bad in 24 hours. Keep them very cold and use them quickly.
