As a displaced Floridian who cringes at the thought of paying
more than $5/lb for shrimp, and who is a long way from the Indian
River where you can catch your own, I offer my two favorite
shrimp preparations.  They are both exceedingly simple, as I
don't like to waste much time before eating.

STEAMED:
I prefer steamed to boiled, no chance of sogginess.  I use a
vegetable steamer and simply boil until pink (maybe 5 min.).
I have used crab boil in the water to jazz it up a bit.

SCAMPI:
Simply peel, slice down the middle if the shrimp are big, not
necessary if they aren't, and fry in butter with a dose of
garlic.
