    It doesn't take much heat or fire to cook shrimp. Buy the raw shrimp unless you plan to eat it right out of the bag or use it in salads or something like that. If you try to cook already cooked shrimp be prepared to eat shrimp that tastes like the rubber balls you buy out of those ten cent machines. On a grill a shrimp probably shouldn't be in much more than five minutes. What you really want to see is them get to a white-pink color. When they get to that color they are done.

    I love shrimp as well. My husband and I recently made a broccoli and shrimp pizza. We used a wheat crust, olive oil, garlic and mozzarella cheese. It was sooo good!

    shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

    On a more serious note....

    My favourites are:

    Spanish paella- with plenty of squid prawns (shrimp), rice and veggies

    Mixed in a cheesy white sauce, along with smoked salmon & dill then stuffed into a savoury crepe, topped with cheese & baked.

    Tossed in garlic, chilli, evoo & parsley and mixed into spaghetti
