Oh yes! They dip the head in tempura batter, deep fry it and serve it up with lemon wedges (usually two of them, since two shrimp constitute an order of sweet shrimp).
Of course, you can elect not to eat the heads. Many people don't. I generally eat one and share the other since by the time I get to sweet shrimp I'm at the end of my sushi dinner and stuff to my own gills.
Go figure, the tamale and the though of eating similar bits of a lobster gross me out totally, but this I don't mind. And the shrimp is incredible, sweet and succulent.
