I first had grilled shrimp (prawns) at a restaurant in Cairo, Egypt. I'd asked a fellow student at the American University out to dinner and found a classy restaurant on the banks of the Nile. I was quite taken with Colleen, a surprisingly sophisticated country girl from Kansas and I was also taken with the shrimp, which were huge and grilled with the shells on. They were a mess to eat, but we had a good time and I got a kiss at the end of the evening. (Larger image.) Serves 2.
