The article implies that foot-long lengths are within reason
for mantis shrimp, but the ones here are getting on to 1.25'
(15 inches). That's not quite so scary as imagining a regular
shrimp reaching these lengths.

I'm reminded of Neal Stephenson's Zodiac.

Ernie, read the article. One of the guys who dredged it up ate the thing. Who knows what's in there. My friends and I avoid it like the plague.

In Japan, the mantis shrimp is known as a shako. They are quite tasty. Looks like something from the movie Alien, however.

It's got me wondering where they caught them...

So "jumbo shrimp" really isn't an oxymoron! Pupus, anyone?

Shrimp are the cockroaches of the deep.
