If you are not sodium-challenged or impaired and you don't mind spicy food, then you will like this shrimp version of the salt and pepper pork chops. The shrimp version is cooked similarly as its pork counterpart but it takes a lot less time to prepare. The shrimp is cooked -- and eaten -- with the shell on, much like you would with soft-shell crab. This recipe is great for both appetizer and main course and is great to bring to potlucks. I've chosen to leave the amount of salt used to your liking, so you can adjust the saltiness of your dish.
