Odori Ebi

Odori ebi is a traditional sashimi dish prepared with live baby shrimps. A live shrimp is first shelled, its head removed, and it's then served to diners while it's still twitching. The dish is very expensive because it requires skillful and quick preparation. The shell and head of the shrimp are often deep-fried, then served on the side. The shrimp is typically dipped into sake, then into a dipping sauce before consumption (chewing). Funnily enough, the name of the dish, odori ebi, means dancing shrimp.
