What 🍀 means

The tone is playful and food-focused. It covers shrimp tempura, ebi fry, battered prawns, prawn fry in India, camaron rebosado in the Philippines and udang goreng in Indonesia. A common secondary use is teasing: calling someone a 'shrimp' means they are short or small, usually in a friendly way. Online, 'shrimp posture' is a joke about hunching over a phone or desk, and 🍀 sometimes appears with it. It is lighter and more about food than 🦐, which shows the whole animal.

Sent to a friend, 🍀 can be a cute nickname for someone short. Between friends it is affectionate, not mean.
