What Causes Vomiting After Eating Shrimp?

With no warning about two hours after dinner my husband started throwing up violently for almost 2 hours we ate shrimp in a tequila cream sauce rice and some frozen vegetables. No allergy symptoms, no warning. Now, he is child and sweaty. 3of us ate the same thing, prepared in our home, no one else is sick. YYYY@YYYY

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your husband and family that all have eaten shrimp in tequila cream sauce rice and some frozen vegetables cooked at home, only your husband vomited without warming after 2 hours, others at home have no symptoms. He is feeling chills and is sweating.
This indicates that your husband might have developed intolerance to
Shrimp or any other ingredient and hence the problems.
I would advise you the following:
Take him to the ER immediately to have clinical evaluation, examination and treatment as needed.
Watch whether other family members also develop any symptoms or not...
I find this answer helpful
