You don't know what Leo *grew up* having available; he lives in Nevada.
Perhaps canned shrimp was all his mother could find.

I grew up in a small town near Toronto in the 50s. The only shrimp we
ever knew back then were those tiny things that came in cans.  Into the
60s we could get frozen battered shrimp. In the 70s we could get frozen
shrimp in bags but they were ungodly expensive.

My step-mom buys frozen cooked whole shrimp that has to have the head
and the shell removed. I had never seen shrimp sold this way before -
she has to go to the fish market to buy it. It's actually quite tasty.
