True Story...(in honor of the Shrimp that survived in Finding Nemo)

This is just one of those stories that you have to share.  It could be considered a cooking story...but maybe not so much.  You decide.
So....I have a couple of girlfriends over for a glass of wine.  Ryan's out of town and I'm alone with the kids so this sounds like a really fun Friday night.  I stop by Trader Joe's to pick up some food for the kids and decide to get some shrimp.  I think a Shrimp Cocktail would be a nice addition to our little girl's night. 
Amy sends me a message that she and Nancy will be coming soon.  I better get that shrimp defrosted, right?!  I put it in a bowl with cold water for a quick defrost.
The gals arrive and we sit down and start chatting.  Now is the perfect time to bust out our delicious appetizer.  I go over to the sink and I feel like the shrimp just doesn't look right.  It's from Trader Joe's....you know it's going to be amazing!  I place it into a bowl.  I get the cocktail sauce and plates and we're ready to roll. 
I'm not sure and I say so.  Amy isn't either.  Nancy says it's great.  Amy mentions that it's kinda funky.  I think it's mushy.  Nancy is still on board, just being a sweet as she can be.  Amy says that it looks like it's not deveined.  Oh, yes it is!  I'm going to check the package.  I pull the package out of the trash and begin to read.....It's UNCOOKED, peeled and deveined shrimp.  So, what's the problem??  I've already spit mine out.  Nancy might go for another piece, just to be nice.  Amy is with me on this.  Something is wrong.  UNCOOKED shrimp!!!  And, let me remind you....I didn't COOK it, I just defrosted it!!
OMG!!!!!!!....we all just ate a RAW piece of shrimp.  I don't even want to know what that means for all of us.  Amy had mentioned that they are bottom feeders and she's said something about worms.  YUCK!
Both of my dear friends were so sweet!  They both stayed, drank another glass of wine and even ate a LITTLE bit of the Shrimp Scampi that I COOKED! 
I have laughed and laughed about this.  The more I think about it, the more embarrassing it becomes.  I mean, who does that.  Apparently I do!!  Hopefully, we'll all be around tomorrow and.....if I'm really lucky, we'll all stay friends!  WOW!
