Nathalie Dupree writes of this recipe in her book "New Southern Cooking," "Shrimp taste better when cooked in their shells because the fat under the shells preserves their flavor and tenderness.

When the shells are crisp it is a pleasure to eat the shrimp with their shells on.
-
This rich butter sauce cries out to be sopped up with crusty bread once the shrimp are gone."
