A radioactive Walmart shrimp allegedly linked to the recent recall was seen late Friday on Bourbon Street, reportedly glowing, hammered, and attempting to pick a fight with a Lucky Dog cart. Witnesses say the shrimp had been barhopping since at least 7 p.m., with one patron claiming it ordered “three Hand Grenades, two Hurricanes, and a daiquiri with extra cocktail sauce.”
Authorities did approach the creature, but after acting tough to the cart, it ironically crawfished and slipped away. The shrimp vanished into the French Quarter crowd and hasn’t been seen since.
There’s no telling which Walmart store he came from…or if there are more out and about in the area. Then again, this is New Orleans. Odds are you wouldn’t even notice.
One anonymous official said the incident was “deeply concerning, though not even the top five strangest things reported on Bourbon this week.”
Officials urge the public not to approach, noting it is considered both unstable and “incredibly spicy.”
The FDA has not yet clarified whether the shrimp requires quarantine, seasoning, or both.
This is a developing story.
