Joey Chestnut Eats 17 Pounds Of Shrimp Cocktail in 8 Minutes!

can inhale shrimp just as fast as he can hot dogs ... 'cause the eating legend went beast mode on shrimp cocktail this weekend, guzzling 17 pounds of the appetizer in 8 minutes!

The 38-year-old accomplished the wild feat in the eighth annual World Famous St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail Eating Championship in Indianapolis on Saturday -- and the gross/amazing scene was all captured on video. In footage of the event, you can see hundreds pulled up to the contest to watch Chestnut eat -- and"Jaws" did not disappoint.After a countdown, Chestnut -- who holds 40-plus eating contest world records -- grabbed a handful of shrimp and chomped down so quickly, the announcer said he had put away pounds of the dish in a matter of seconds.

Chestnut eventually destroyed the competition ... eating 17 pounds and 1.6 ounces of the seafood. And, according to the official event results, he beat second place by almost three full pounds!! The most staggering part about it all? Chestnut has actually beaten this mark before -- in 2018, he chomped down 18 pounds and 9.6 ounces of the shrimp at the competition.

Wait for it… 😝😂

Bro I’ve knocked down 15 pounds in a night club after drinking all day

Joey Chestnut rulez!

Oh my, his cholesterol!

Always making San Jose proud. Since SJ Sharks and SJ Earthquakes always come up short.

He should meet my ex wife !!

Did it have St. Elmo’s famous cocktail sauce on it? That stuff is loaded with xtra hot horseradish. To me, that would be more impressive than the shrimp. It’s a challenge to eat one.

Is he still alive? Good thing he isn’t allergic….

Gonna I smell like fish at his house tonight 🦐🍤

He’s still not seeing Kobiyashi, he could eat whatever he wants, but he won’t Dare Challenge Kobiyashi again,

Probably spent the rest of the day seating on the toilet 🚽

I wonder if these competitions mess up your appetite, are you always hella hungry ?
