To Serve: Serve hot with your favorite Pasta, or starch of your choice, garnished with chives.

Method Note: How to de-vein shrimp- Use a small scissors (manicure scissors can be used) with a point to slit the back side of the shrimp. As you slit the shells you will cut into meat a bit exposing the vein. Use the tip of the scissors to lift the vein, the grab it with your fingers and discard.
