Abstract: A seafood product, generally having the appearance of a single large shrimp, is made from two or more shrimp carcasses. A first of the shrimp carcasses has a throughhole formed in it and may have the shell left on its tail segment. The other shrimp, on the other hand, is completely shelled. The tail segment of a completely shelled shrimp carcass is inserted through the throughhole in the first shrimp carcass, and may be thereafter split axially. The spread apart split portions of the inserted tail segment can act to mechanically interconnect the two shrimp carcasses into a composite seafood product that can be handled in a thawed or a frozen state. The composite seafood product may mimic the appearance of a butterflied shrimp, or of a round shrimp, or it may appear unlike any naturally occurring shrimp.
