TikTok outraged over $1k cotton candy shrimp dish but is it real?

TikTok has blown up over a $1k cotton candy shrimp that looks less than appetizing, however, it’s not all as it seems.

In a video that’s gone viral onTikTok, a woman calledTammarahshared a cotton candy shrimp dish that allegedly cost her $1,000.

The dish in question shows crispy, breaded shrimp that’s been paired with blue and pink cotton candy. A suspicious-looking liquid is then poured over the breaded shrimp, which dissolves the cotton candy.

The woman who posted the video can be heard saying: “Why the fk do they charge so much to pour liquid who knows what the fk over three pieces of shrimp?”

“They playin’ you guys,” she says.

Is the cotton candy shrimp dish real?

The video blew up on the platform, reaching over 1 million views, and leaving many people disgusted by the strange concoction in the process. One viewer was outraged, saying: “$1000 for them to clean out their fridge and serve it to me!?”

Another said: “I would have asked for a refund IMMEDIATELY before the pouring even started.”

However, some were suspicious of the hefty price tag assigned to the dish: “Is this real or skit? if real, how much was it really? $15. $5 per soggy shrimp sounds about right.”

Another viewer claims that she knows the restaurant which sells the cotton-candy shrimp dish: “It’s $18 and described as ‘Crispy Fried Coconut Breaded Shrimp Served over Sour Pineapple Mango Cotton Candy & Soursop.’”
