Years ago when I first bought shrimp from a fishmonger he gave me the best advice that I have ever had. He told me that the shrimp themselves will tell me when they're cooked. When they curl into a C they are cooked. If they curl up into an O they are overcooked. It always works for me.

 

I'd say that's roughly correct, but then again it depends how well you like the critters cooked.  I prefer the regular size to be marginally undercooked, by many people's taste.

I wonder what your fishmonger would recommend for these, bought this week in the local market.
