Sounds delish'. M y B-day is coming up soon so I may treat myself to
some decent shrimp. It is my #1 favorite food, bar none!

Typical way to prepare it is to heat up some coconut oil, toss in the
shrimp and lightly sprinkle it with dried lemon peel, dill weed and just
a scant smidge of garlic powder, then sautee' until they all JUST turn
pink.

Eat as is over nothing else.
