What is Shrimp?

In the Something Awful Forums' "PYF Stupid Food Fad", thread, people have fun laughing at pictures of food served on slates instead of dishes, bone marrow, and of course, hipster's. Then one day, something happened - please read:

I cannot tell what either of those foods are.

On the left we have... some rice? And courgettes, I think. And do I see bits of roast potato? Some curly things that look like they could be either meat or pastry, probably meat. Maybe some mushrooms in at the back?

On the right we have... Is it fish? Or maybe pork belly? On top of... uh... I'm gonna guess there's some tomato down there. Some yellowy thin stuff, maybe bell peppers? All floating in what looks kind of like orange juice? There's some green stuff, can't tell what that is. Spinach?



Both meals look pretty horrible.

How do you not know what a shrimp looks like? Is that a thing, people not knowing what a shrimp is?

Wow, sorry I can't recognize a food I don't see very often in a crappy over-magnified phone photo I guess.
