Welcome to Cheftalk! Shrimp is a real hard item to cater. All I could say is, when I catered and had an item that was difficult to cater, I had that item delivered to the catered affair separate from the other items. In other words, if I was doing Nola style BBQ shrimp I would send my crew early and I would follow with that dish closer to serving time. Not all items are equal when catering. In fact if I were catering or trying to sell a menu I wouldn't have this item on the menu if I didn't have a kitchen to do on site cooking. I my case I had portable ways of doing some of these dishes using demo Wok cooking on the buffet......Good Luck...ChefBillyB
