Just peeled and butterflied. The shrimp have a strong shrimp smell. They don't smell bad but just stronger than what I have smelled before

They have been in the fridge since Monday and on ice in ice chest on Sunday

Is this ok to eat? Just curious of royal reds smell stronger?

Also when I butterflied them, each one had bad "beef curtains" hanging on each side Of the butterfly cut

Are Royal reds that different?

Almost all royal reds are frozen usually on the boats via IQF. The shrimpnyou bought were they frozen until earlier today or had they been defrosted when you purchased them?

Should be fine, but for legal reasons, it's your call

Do they smell after they are cleaned and you've removed the heads and peels out of the way. My Royal Reds always smelled pretty bad after thawed, but once I cleaned them and took heads and peels outside, there was zero smell. They smell because they are frozen on boat, so they are not cleaned very well.

I wouldn't give them to the SO, but unless you smell a bleachy type smell, they're probably okay. I wouldn't eat them that old, though.
