    As someone who works in a meat department, the shrimp you buy from the service case is 100% the same shrimp from the frozen isle. We just cut the bags open and fill them with water to thaw the shrimp. A lot of seafood comes in frozen, but the beef/pork side should be cut fresh every day. Key word 'Should' lol

      I don't mind the tails when we're talking fried shrimp, or even to grab when eating a shrimp cocktail. However, in a pasta dish like this or any dish where the shrimp is mixed into it, I would rather have the tails removed.

    The only thing I omit from the complex version is the additional herbs and red pepper flakes. I also cut down a little on the parsley since everyone else I make it for isn’t as big a fan as I am, but it’s still delicious. Thank you so much!
