What alternative do you suggest? The only shrimp I can buy are
IQF. I inquired at the fishmonger about "frozen in a block of ice"
and the smallest quantity was about 20 pounds, leaving me with the
alternative of defrosting, cooking, and eating 20 pounds of shrimp
or sawing up the block of ice and having weird partial shrimp.
