Fat is so full of flavor. I would gladly pay for extra. I'll have to ask
if my grocery store butcher can save me some beef fat. Or, I'll drive up
and see if that old butcher shop is still in business.

Many like shrimp wrapped in bacon. I've never had it but it sounds good.
I do suspect it would only taste like bacon though.

What sounds even better to me is shrimp butterflied and sautéed in
rendered beef fat. YUM.
