Peel 'n eats: no fuss, lots of muss


This is an easy-do when entertaining. A bag of frozen Colossal shrimp in the shells, defrosted, 1/2 to 1 hour marinated in Newman's Own Lime Vinaigrette (a.k.a. Cheetah Marinade). On to the grill (set on high), 2 to three minutes per side. The shells protect the flesh from becoming over-dry. I serve with cocktail sauce, but that is usually ignored by guests who say it overwhelms the smoky sweetness of the shrimp.
