Grilled shrimp and bouillabaisse
Shrimps baked in a shell, on the one hand, retain all their juice, but on the other hand, it is not so easy to clean them from this shell. If you decide to grill already peeled shrimp on coals, collect all the shells and heads on a metal sheet and fry over a fire until red - and only then put them in bouillabaisse. If a sheet is not available, wrap the shells in portions in pieces of foil and place on a wire rack. And don't overdry the shrimp!
