SHRIMP MICK JAGGER
I first saw this recipe printed in The New York Daily News in 1988, where it was excerpted from a book called Rock 'n' Roll Cuisine. The recipe was created by Byron Ayanoglu, who was Mick Jagger's private chef. The bio on Amazon reads" Byron Ayanoglu, known as "food-god" among his Hollywood fans, has written fifteen food-related books, including cookbooks, novels and memoirs. He has worked as food-journalist (restaurant reviewer/cuisine commentator/culinary traveling) for thirty years, and eaten his way around the globe. He has always shared his prandial pleasures with his readers if not necessarily his food. He has worked as private chef to the famous (Mick Jagger; Robert De Niro) and the powerful (the Annenberg family) and has been set-caterer to great films (Sergio Leoni's Once Upon A Time in America). Born in Istanbul he grew up in Canada but never quite got used to the winters of his adopted land." I would love to find more of his recipes!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp should have a firm texture, a clear appearance, and no off odors. If you're not sure if shrimp is fresh, ask your fishmonger or look for it in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully to avoid overcooking. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of cooking methods. Shrimp can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, grilling, frying, and baking. Each cooking method produces a different flavor and texture, so experiment to find your favorite way to cook shrimp.
- Season the shrimp well. Shrimp has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. Use a variety of spices, herbs, and citrus to create a flavorful dish.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
