Garlic Lovers Shrimp

In the summer, here in Rochester, we have a seafood truck come to town about every 3 weeks.  It has seafood from Galveston, Texas.  They always have different sizes of fresh shrimp in tubs of ice.  This is a great way to try some shrimp.  Oh I have also learned how to clean shrimp since I have gotten them there.  You could try this recipe with any raw frozen shrimp as well.
