Shrimp
When making this recipe, look for large or jumbo cooked shrimp. You can find shrimp at any grocery store so you shouldn’t have any problem finding large/jumbo shrimp. You might need to peel and devein the shrimp or if your lucky, it can be done for you by the nice looking guy working behind the fish counter. *wink, wink*
