i do fairly extensive research before major purchases but not to the extent of worrying if lead is in the paint on a bbq because there has been lead in paint in toys in the past.
i mean isn't it pretty obvious and common sense that most people don't want something that is of crap quality or is going to poison us?
as far as your shrimp goes. sounds like it was cheap shrimp. not because it was imported or frozen. i mean you could probably get shrimp imported from Greece or South America, and it could possibly be the best shrimp you've ever had.
