Being landlocked, I rely on Sam's Club for bags of frozen shrimp (shell on of course)..........they are reasonably good.

A while back, for my best friends bachelor party back in FL, I bought several pounds of Indian River shrimp........recently caught.

DAMN..........delicious.

I recall as a kid, we'd buy live shrimp from the river for bait for $1 a dozen. If the fish didn't bite, we'd go home and eat our bait.

Those were good shrimp too.

If your shrimp are flavorless they are most likely farm raised and flash frozen, a combo that kills any flavor they once had. You need some local creek shrimp from down here in South Carolina. Just tear the heads off and boil for a couple minutes you wont need any sauce.
