I finally realized that I’ve been using peeled shrimp or
prawn in my previous recipes. While peeled shrimp makes for easy eating, it’s
not the only way to make a shrimp dish. Shrimp dishes are also made with
unpeeled shrimp, and there’s a lot of flavor in the shells that makes its way
into dish. The downside to using unpeeled shrimp is that the shells must be
removed before eating, unless you’re strange like me and eat shrimp with the
shells on. So preparation is easy for this dish, since you don’t have to shell
the shrimp (you also leave the little feet on!). If leaving the shells on
shrimp doesn’t appeal to you, just remove them and cook the dish that way.
Enjoy!
