What Size of Shrimp Should I Use This recipe doesn’t call for a specific size of shrimp but it’s a good idea you know what you are getting when you go shopping. You will notice a number on the bag or at the butcher counter when you go shopping for shrimp.  The higher the number, the smaller the shrimp.  The smaller the number, the larger the shrimp. This recipe calls for the shrimp already cooked.  You can buy shrimp already cooked and then it will already be peeled and deveined. If you choose to buy shrimp uncooked, it’s a good idea to buy it frozen in a bag.  This will give you options for other shrimp recipes and it’s usually cheaper.  Just soak the shrimp in lukewarm water until it thaws, then peel and devein the shrimp yourself.  The easiest way to cook the shrimp is to saute it in olive oil or butter until it turns opaque with a pearly pink color and bright-red tails (just a few minutes).  Season with salt & pepper if you choose.
