I don't know that I've ever had fresh shrimp. I assume you're referring to shrimp that has never been frozen. I know with lobster, I can definitely tell if it's been frozen because it changes the texture of it. I much prefer fresh lobster.
I bought a big bag of Texas jumbo gulf shrimp yesterday, only to learn they still needed cleaned. I hate cleaning shrimp! It's too tedious for my clumsy hands and aging eyes!

Yes, never frozen. If I drive about 40 minutes I can get them right off the boat but I usually just buy them at a little local seafood place. Far better than shrimp caught and frozen in Vietnam and shipped to NC!

Whenever I'm working on the gulf coast, I'll buy a bunch of fresh oysters and haul them back with me. Sometimes some redfish too. I love grilled oysters!! Although, even around where I live, I can find them for under 69 cents each.
Fresh seafood is a real treat. Not fresh caught. Not fresh frozen.
My now wife, “didn’t like salmon” when we first started dating. I couldn’t fathom that and chalked it up to her have never had fresh and properly cooked salmon. I was right and now she enjoys it.
I like to dust them with Prudhomme's meat magic and quickly pan fry them in a little extra light olive oil. By the time the outside is browned they are done. Tender and juicy, not shoe leather overdone pork like too many serve.
Starting with de-veined shrimp, I shell and then sauté them in butter with garlic. Then season using salt, black pepper, paprika, parsley flakes. Just before removing from the pan I'll add a small splash of orange juice (because that is the only citrus I usually have on hand) and then grated Parmesan cheese.

fresh shrimp is always the best kind. My son keeps me supplied with fresh shrimp from the St Augustine area.
I get them off the boats in Biloxi, Pass Christian, or Ocean Springs MS. Depending upon the size they're usually $2-4 a pound. I'll load up a cooler when I'm down there.
I like shrimp, especially Louisiana white shrimp after they've been on the sand bottom for a week or two. Most folks have never ate the best shrimp, a molting white shrimp is the best eating piece of seafood available, but the captain and crew save them for themselves.
