there is a little prep work to this but the extra time spent is well worth it, I made this using scallops instead of the shrimp, I didn't have any fava beans so I used red kidney beans and that worked well, the flavors blended together nicely, I added in 1 teaspoon garlic powder to the mayo/lemon mixture and I did use the anchovies as they are one of my favorite foods and add them to many recipes, great recipe Syd thanks for sharing!
