Jamie Oliver broke into the world of culinary television over 20 years ago when he came into our homes as the Naked Chef, boiling recipes down to their bare minimum to make clean, healthy meals aimed at home cooks (via IMDb). The celebrity chef went on to build a culinary empire that included restaurants and cookbooks, and even took on the issue of childhood obesity. If you are a fan of Oliver’s food philosophy and recipes, you may follow him on social media where he has continued to share tips and tricks that make cooking a little easier.
Recently, Oliver shared on Twitter that the majority of us are throwing out the most flavorful part of the shrimp. And no, it isn’t the tails of these seafaring creatures, which were purportedly once found in a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. No, there is another part of the shrimp that will enhance your whole eating experience once you realize you should be consuming it.

Clearly Oliver knows what he’s talking about. Not to mention, NBC News reports the cost of “food eaten at home” is up 3.7 percent in 2021 compared to prices in 2020, and the United States Department of Agriculture reports food waste now comprises between 30 and 40 percent of the food supply. Considering these factors, Oliver’s tip is both flavorful and resourceful.
