Colossal (2-4 per lb) shrimp - suggestions?
Each shrimp is about 8-9" long- I want to serve 1 per person as part of New Years Eve dinner (other main dish will be beef tenderloin). I don't necessarily need a "recipe" but suggestions for preparation - leaving the shell on, how long to grill, roast or bake, whether to marinate, etc. Thanks!

I use a mix of ginger powder, lemon juice, soy sauce, oil/butter to brush and grill.
Therefore the splitting and grilling.
To make it easier for the guests...and for shrimp that large..and I rather like the bits of chared meat on the split shell, carmalized with the butter, soy/Worcester whatever on the basting..and easy to eat without a bib.
The big thick shells for 8 inch shrimp...aren't something you want guest wresting with to get at the meat within. We're not talking "Jumbo Shrimp" here..we're talking lobster catagory.
