For shrimp salad with so many over powering ingredients using fresh
shrimp is kind of a waste, especially for feeding lots of people...
for such a recipe I'd go with the lest expensive frozen precooked I
could find. Were I making a shrimp salad with just a simple dressing
like mildly doctored mayo then I'd use fresh shrimp.
