This particular platter of Ebi (Shrimp) was just prepared (Speared with a bamboo skewer, boiled in salt water, butterflied from the bottom-up, de-veined, and rinsed in a salt-water solute) then plated and wrapped in plastic wrap. If you'll notice, the shrimp upfront has a darker orange tone to it, while the ones in back are more light. This is the proper way to display Ebi, as you show off the best pieces too the customers while using the not so good pieces first.
