NPR: If you like shrimp, make this recipe!

This has just turned into one of my most favorite recipes ever:

It's definitely not a 'light' recipe, but so, so, so good!

I think my backfat just yelled at me.

How funny, I just made this for dinner last night.  My DH liked it a lot more than I did.  I thought it was a tad salty (I used kosher as the recipe called for).  I think I would have liked it a lot more with less salt.

I made this same recipe over the weekend and I thought it was "eh" but DH loved it.  Did you broil at the end like Ina suggested?  I didn't and the breadcrumbs were super mushy.

The saltiness can also depend on the shrimp you use.  If it is treated with tri-poly, that is built in salt.  I used chem-free shrimp.

Yes, I broiled.

Maybe that is the secret then
