Notes

what type of shrimp to use

I used 1 pound of large, easy peel, deveined shrimp. You can find a number of different sizes and variations (peeled, tail off, etc) depending on what you're looking for. I like using raw shrimp in this recipe because it doesn’t get over-cooked, but you can feel free to use cooked shrimp if you prefer.
