    Shrimp for garlic butter shrimp pasta

    I use frozen peeled prawns (Prawns in the UK, Shrimps in the US and other side of the world). This is easily accesible and i get them in King or Jumbo size at good price. They taste so good and works well for me everytime. If using unpeeled prawns, peel and season with salt and black pepper.
