You don't know what Leo *grew up* having available; he lives in Nevada.
Perhaps canned shrimp was all his mother could find.

 
 
At the time, it was. Nowadays, I'm sure that the substitution of fresh
salad shrimp would be better. We even have them here. That's progress!
I suspect that our "fresh" salad shrimp is from frozen. I can't imagine
peeling those little buggers by hand. There must be a process?

I'm not a big enough fan of shrimp to buy them fresh with the shells on
and bother to peel them.  I remember when I was a teenager living in TN
my mother bought frozen shrimp to serve shrimp cocktail at holiday
dinners and they been shelled.

I occasionally buy them frozen with the shells on.  My preference
is the EZ-peel ones that have had the shell slit up the back and
have been deveined.

I mainly find only peeled and deveined shrimp in the freezer case.

I'd never buy pre-cooked shrimp; they're invariably overcooked for
my taste.

You remind me that I've got a pound of shrimp in the freezer that
aren't getting any younger.  Maybe it's time for scampi alla griglia,
shrimp cocktail, or grilled shrimp.
