Hm. Guess I will really have to try that some time...
To date, I always peel shrimp before cooking it.

Hot and fast seems to be the key to the perfect shrimp, just like the
perfect steak. :-)

There's a restaraunt in New Orleans that I used to go to all the time
called Deannie's and they had some of the best BBq shrimp I've ever
had...spicy, hot...they bring you a big bowl of them, a huge loaf of
french bread for sopping the juice and a roll of paper towels. That and
a large Abita Amber and I'm off to heaven.
