How do you like to eat shrimp? Do you buy the frozen ones out of a store? What is the best way to prepare those? Recipes would be nice. Hope to hear from you all.

i prefer the fresh ones. sometimes frozen shrimps have these certain taste and most of them are tasteless. i just boil them and after i have drained it, I put some pepper, salt and some lemon.

Hmm thanks for the info. I've never tried them like that before, I might have to try it. Where i live frozen shrimp are the easiest and cheapest to get unfortunatly.

I'm sorry you do not like where you live now. I am fortunate to live on a farm, and have always lived on one. I'd hate to think what like living in a city would be like.

i love cooked shrimp with liguene pasta, the pasta has alfredo sauce (we buy packaged dry sauce that comes from a grocery store)or you can buy prepared sauce which is easy to heat up. its a great meal!

I'm fond of shrimps myself, I like every kinds of them and even those tiger prawns. We have almost everyone of them here in my country, we eat them fresh raw and cooked as well. I once tasted one salad which a place here prefers to as, "Jumping Salad." Because the shrimps are alive and jumping as you dip them on vinegar then eat, they are so delicious since they are fresh!

I wish I could have the luxury of fresh affordable shrimp. Believe it or not, I've never seen a sea or ocean... I've never seen a body of water that I could not see the other side of. Thanks for the preparation tip.
