Tried it, loved it! I cooked with de-shelled shrimps. It still tastes very good. The wine brings out the flavour of this simple recipe , thanks!

David!!! Chardonay works too, but next time, you can add brandy or some hard liquor, make it drunken shrimp. Whahaha.

Kay – both. Yes, you can suck the head and the juice in the head. Secondly, the shell and head have a lot of flavors themselves plus when you cook them, the juice inside the head “comes out” so it adds an extra layer of flavor to this dish. They make the taste briny and shrimpy, basically.

When you say, “The natural sweetness of the shrimp heads and shell also add depth to this dish” are you meaning that you eat or suck the shrimp heads, which I know people do, or does it just add flavor to the overall dish?? Just wondering. I’d normally cook w/o the heads just because firstly I’m not used to it, and second, it’s kind of creepy to see a bunch of heads and faces on my dish, but I’d be willing to try because your pictures look so delicious! And if you recommend it! Thank you for your great recipes!!

Well, as long as your garlic shrimp tasted good it doesn’t matter if it looked as nice or not. ;)
