Notes
Here is what to look for when you buy shrimp.
Fresh shrimp is firm, with a rich grayish or green color and a clean, seafresh scent.
When buying frozen shrimp, make sure each of the pieces are individually coated with a thick layer of ice.
Try to buy shrimp with the shells left on-they keep better that way.
