Weston’s short-form sketches can be found in the watery domain of his Instagram alter-ego, _shrimpking. His videos are often silly and light, as seen in his viral “Deep Thoughts” series, but also delve into parody, dark humor, and observational comedy. Though his shrimp-eating contest days are on hiatus, faithful members of the Prawn Army can always count on something new and unexpected from his majesty, the King.
