Fresh shrimp is hard to get in some areas, but you can use frozen shrimp in this recipe.
If you want to put this recipe's carb count back to the usual 10 we allow, use only 1/2 a tomato.

If using frozen shrimp, thaw the shrimp by placing unpackaged shrimp into a colander and immersing in COLD water. While thawing, gently stir on occasion to separate shrimp.

NEVER thaw seafood or meats on the counter!
