There are many advantages to cooking shrimp in the shell. One of the most
important is enjoyment. Using one's fingers, peeling the shrimp, having to
lick the excess sauce from the fingers is a great way to eat. It also
tends to slow down the process so that you can enjoy the meal for longer.

Don't be scared to get your fingers messy.
