While variations using whole shrimp could be made there is an Austrian
recipe ("gefullte hubner mit krabben") that calls for chopped and pureed
large shrimp to flavour a bread stuffing with, this is then used to
stuff a whole chicken. Chicken and shrimp is a very good combo.
I do not see why a minced shrimp would be any more 'idiotic' than any
other chopped meat. A lobster mousse is made with pureed lobster
flesh. Minced shrimp of any size may also be used in a mayonnaise or
soufflé. Anchovies are often mashed before adding to a dish.
