This so-called “Alfredo” sauce by Korean producer Cheongjeongwon contains neither parmesan cheese nor butter, as an actual Alfredo sauce would, but does contain cream, as an actual Alfredo sauce wouldn’t.  Still, because the product comes thickened and seasoned, it can be useful as a base for developing other (better) sauces.

Because of the mess and hassle, I don’t like eating shrimp with shells still on (I don’t mind shelling shrimp during the preparation stage).  However, I do acknowledge that shrimp cooked in their shells are tastier, benefitting from the briny mineral flavors of the shell.
