How to eat fully unpeeled shrimp?


Got this guy as part of a kaiseki meal in Japan, and I was flummoxed on how to eat it. You may not be able to tell from the picture, but it was huge. I guess it was probably a prawn, not a shrimp, but anyway… the shell had sauce on it, so it seemed like a bad move to pop the shell off with my hands, but the shell was pretty thick, due to the size of the shrimp. Do people really eat the whole shrimp, shell and all? Seems hard to pop the shell open with chopsticks. Hellllllllp
