My Mom served this as a starter to dinner last week. I don't know where it was originally published but it's accredited to Peter Dorsey of Warwick, Rhode Island The preparation time does not include the 24 hour marinating time. My Mom didn't marinate the shrimp for the full 24 hours and the dish was still delicious.

  • Make sure the marinade is flavorful: Use a variety of citrus fruits and herbs to create a flavorful marinade. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp over medium heat: This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcooking and becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, make sure to spread them out in a single layer in the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Once the shrimp are cooked, serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
