Drunken Shrimp
"Original recipe was from the Food Network courtesy of Emeril. Changed the recipe a bit to fit our tastebuds and let me just say, this is a terrific way to make shrimp. Presentation is good enough for a dinner party."

This is wonderful! I was hesitant because of the scotch but it's really tasty! -
I just made it and my son tried it and he really likes it. If I could give it ten stars I would. Out of this world and thanks for posting it, I will make it again soon. -
This was probably one of the best recipes I have ever made in my life!! wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! More people need to try this because they are missing out!!!!! My hubby loved this and even my two small boys cleaned their plates! Although they did keep asking what the shrimp was called since this was the first recipe I made them with shrimp in it! : ) -
Amazing! I'll make this again and again. -
Spectacular! My kitchen smelled heavenly from beginning to end. I served the shrimp next to jasmine rice (not over it). Guilty eating! I'd originally attributed the "drunken" moniker to the Scotch used in preparation, but afterwards had to laugh because my kitchen looked as though someone had prepared dinner in a drunken rage. From now on that is the image that the "drunken" title will bring to mind.
