I did! But I didn't really go to restaurants with friends until I was a teenager and I don't think they cared about dietary restrictions Plus, when you go out to eat with friends as a teenager you are pretty much eating burgers, fries and pizza (and no one resisted any toppings or mixing dairy with meat). I must have hung around with non-observant Jews. My best friend now is Jewish and the only thing she won't eat is lamb because they are cute.

Buy already peeled and deveined shrimp so you don't get turned off by cleaning them. Get 16/20 or bigger and use that simple recipe and you will be glad that you did. Branch out---what's the worst that can happen? You can still use jarred cocktail sauce and you can add some marinade to the roasted shrimp if you want.
