I tend to forget how really tasty these big shrimpies are. I have found that the larger ones, with the shells ON, tend to be more satisfying than the ones that have had the shells removed before packaging.
What you see is my old standby stir-fry mixture of baby peppers, mushrooms, lacinato, and scallions getting cozy with a serving of fettuccini. I had some broccoli – not sure why it didn’t join the party.
I ate only half of the shrimp, and there was a little less than half of the veggies/fettuccini mixture left. I feel a very fancy omelette lurking in my future!
Looks very tasty. I also find that the unpeeled ones have more flavor, but will buy whatever is on sale… 🙂

Having spent 36 years in Florida – where there are a lot of shrimp – I learned that boiling shrimp shells produced a nice broth for use in recipes. I reasoned that leaving the shells on whilst making this dish would keep in that extra flavor, adding to the robustness of the overall dish. Messy to eat, though. No one saw me! ;->
