    Oh Yumm, I would want to order both. But if you only get to order 1 go with Lobster. If you chose shrimp, I like peel & eat dipped in cocktail sauce, or shrimp scampi*

    Don't you have a preference? If this is a formal dinner where people are watching you, I would order the shrimp because its easier to eat neatly. If you are alone or with people you are comfortable with in a casual setting I would order the lobster because it is really good but messy to eat. Hope this helps.

    Shrimp can be cooked,fried or steamed,but lobster is best roasted on charcoal with spices seafood sauce.

    I would order lobster which can be steamed or baked or boiled - served with butter, so good.

    Shrimp sometimes is not cleaned properly which you'll notice if you ever see that dark line in back.

    I would have lobster as it is a rare treat on my budget, so are prawns.

    I like to just toss them in a little oil and mild chilli's and cook on the BBQ or in a fry pan

    I would order a baked stuffed lobster ........ sometimes in the stuffing they put shrimp or crab, or both in it. That way you get both!

    Bon Appetite!

    Guess it depends if you're eating out or cooking for yourself.

    I like shrimp with noodles, and sauce: equal parts butter & cream cheese (may wish to thin down with white wine or stock, or water, it can become quite thick)

    Eating out I've always loved scampi....

    Source(s): You can't go wrong with either choice tho....

    Whole Lobster.

    Steamed is usually best, though boiled works too.

    Lobster tail is usually frozen.

    I Dont like either of them

    So either buy Both, or the most expensive one [Lobster i think]
