I've just finished a 1kg bag of shrimp. I love them!
Back in the 70s in the UK ( when food was, TBH, pretty dire) we'd snack on "vinegared shrimp"in the local pubs. Then there was the famous "Prawn Vindaloo" in the Curry houses, "butterfly shrimp"in Italian restaurants and the Chinese "shrimp toast".
Fast forward to Margarita Island in the 90s, when a restaurant opened called "Antonio's". The menu would be presented on a large tray, live: fresh snapper, sea bream, barracudas, swordfish, mussels, clams and about 3 or 4 varieties of shrimp, including some which were deep sea and full of iodine. Just grilled with s&p and some lime juice.
About 20 years ago, I could get hold of jumbo shrimp, which went on the grill and were served with hot mango salsa. These days they're a little more difficult to find.
