Peel-and-eat shrimp are simply the greatest. I have fond summer memories of eating fresh shrimp by the beach, and every Christmas Eve my family loves to make this special holiday appetizer. No matter what time of year you eat them, shrimp are so versatile and just the most delicious way to start the evening.
