Fresh, wild sweet shrimp from Maine are back in season. They're sweet, of course, with no pesky vein to pull out. But be warned -- the flesh is so tender that removing the dainty shell requires a light touch. Many of the pretty peach shrimp are curled around little clumps of roe, though I was a little too squeamish to deal with it. Check out this Barbuto recipe from New York mag. Whole Foods has them, headless, for $5.99/lb.

i thought it was crazy cheap too, til i called my mae who lives in l.a. and she was like, that's what i pay normally. but i agree, it's a great price.
