Michelle, I don't eat much shrimp for exactly that reason. Of course, I prefer them grilled and slathered in garlic butter, but to each their own. My doc actually put me on cholesterol drugs after I ate those two 10 lbs wheels of blue cheese, but then we had a lttle liver scare so I'm off them now. I wouldn't be surprised If I'm not back on them after the next visit.

I would say that crawfish are NOT the problem. But when you suck the heads, you do get a lot of the fat. Now, it's mostly the good stuff, rather than the bad stuff. Terrestrial meat has more bad than good. Seafood is the opposite. I say ditch the heads, but keep eatin' the crawfish. Watch the other stuff. If'n they put butter in the boil, that could be an issue.

.....what is "Cholesterol" I thought everything I fry and every sauce I make should include "real" butter or heavy cream?

Just read up on it. If you don't suck the heads on those "MudBugs" you ought to be OK!!
