We found these two while prepping some boiled shrimp. They are obviously in the shrimp family but I've never run across these before. I'm sure it's something I should know so feel free to ridicule me. Can anyone help me out?

That's what my buddy said lol
It does look similar to a ghost shrimp but the head is a little different and the legs aren't as large, tho it may have lost it's large claws

That is the rare, but delicious, roach-prawn.
Those are usually about $5 a piece.

That is a mantis shrimp. They are pretty bad arse. Do a YouTube search an there are a lot of cool aquarium videos. They pretty much kill anything put in the tank with them. They also come in a variety of colors.

In the food industry they are called rock shrimp. Very tasty. It taste like shrimp and lobster mixed together.
