What type of shrimp should be used
For this recipe, I personally love to use wild shrimp when it is available. It is my personal opinion, but to me, farm-raised shrimp doesn’t have the flavor wild shrimp does. Living near the gulf coast, sometimes fresh Lousianna wild caught shrimp is available. I like to use at least a medium or large-sized shrimp. That means you will have about 41 to 31 pieces per pound.
You could use smaller shrimp or even go larger. If serving as an appetizer one or two jumbo shrimp would make the perfect appetizer.
