Marinating Shrimp
I am going to saute shrimp without the shell. Is there any benefit to marinating the shrimp first? Thanks in advance!

Depends on how you're cooking them; for instance, if you're sauteeing with garlic, that's plenty of flavor - marinating beforehand would likely be overkill.
Asian shrimp dishes are another thing - marinating them in, e.g., baking soda and ice water, gives them that distinctive crunchy texture, it's not a flavor enhancer.
