I buy my shrimp.  Deveining is the process of taking out the vein that runs along the back of the shrimp.  Google it.

Yes, that's what I was talking about (I just didn't  know the name for it). And we had to de-shell them, too, but that's not that hard.

i've never found deveining shrimp to be hard. All you have to do is cut down the back, and, using a sharp utensil (toothpicks work well!), pull out the gastrointestinal tract (the "vein"). It usually comes in one long strand. That being said, I've never done it to the type of shrimp you are referring to.

Yeah, large wild shrimp from the Mexican Gulf are pretty freakin' big….But I never said that it was hard! Just took a while 'cause there were a lot of them and they were cold.

The worst part is when they're cold.

Yeah, I hate that part….Actually I think i just hate cold shrimp in general. I LOVE warm/hot/spicy :D shrimp, but I just can't stomach cold/chilled shrimp (often on cocktails). Just doesn't taste good.

Has anyone ever had this dish…not one hundred percent what it's called but I think it's like 'Camarones al Ajillo' or something. Has anyone had it?

Actually, I made a mistake. I forgot–it's 'Camarones al Ajillo,' not 'Camarillos.' My apologies

I am not entirely sure; I only ate them a year or two ago. However, I believe it is (cooked) shrimp prepared in an olive oil-type sauce with garlic, sea salt, and red chili flakes. It is served very hot (temperature-wise) and often (by preference(can be altered by usage of chili flakes)) spicy as well.

I am sorry; this is the best I can do. My memory is none too great, unfortunately.

I've had something similar. Shrimp scampi sometimes has olive oil and garlic, mainly (usually lemon, too. Sometimes vinegars). No chili flakes (usually). It probably tastes a bit similar. It's also not served piping hot, generally, but it still sounds like something i would eat! :D

It's a bit different from Shrimp Scampi, though. (1)Camarones al Ajillo is generally an appetizer, and thus not as large a portion as Shrimp Scampi often is. (2) Shrimp Scampi is served on a bed of rice  (usually). (3) Shrimp Scampi is much heavier than Camarones al Ajillo (at least the ones that I've eaten. There are several different ways to prepare Shrimp Scampi)–the Scampis I've had have mostly used butter (which is one reason I'm not a huge fan of them). Otherwise, though, they are similar.

Yes, it is an extremely tasty dish.
