I recommend you do not cook the shrimp excessively because they tend to harden. For this salad i used medium size peeled, deveined, tail off, but if you use it as an appetizer or in a different dish I suggest you use large size, peeled, deveined, with tail. The shrimps can be raw or cooked (to taste)
