These shrimp come from our favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities. My wife and I grew up in Minnesota, and every time we go back, we HAVE to stop at Chino Latino for their Salt and Pepper Shrimp. They are outstanding! We found this recipe and they are just as good as the original; except for one thing. You must use half of the amount of salt the recipe calls for. Another tip, dip the shrimp into the dipping sauce before you peel the shrimp. Suck off all of the goodness, then peel and eat. Now, we don't have to travel from Florida to Minnesota to indulge!

This recipe is from the fashionable and diverse restaurant called Chino Latino in uptown Minneapolis. I have had this appetizer/ meal many times, and I have to say that it is nothing short of amazing. The jumbo shrimp are grilled or sauted with the shell on and are tossed in a white paper bag with kosher salt and ground black pepper. If that wasn't enough this dish comes with a plum sauce that leaves your mouth watering for more. I never expected the plum sauce to be good, but this is something you have to try.
