These shrimps are really easy to cook, and only take a few minutes to prepare. They are so smooth and tasty.

Basically, they are all gone as soon as they are placed on the plate. The empty plate rate is ridiculously high. They are simply the "general who always wins" on the table. There is no time left. Every time they are cooked, they are all gone. There is not enough to eat!
