"This recipe was originally posted by my good friend Shelly. She adopted this recipe, and then I adopted it. I adore snails, but have never made them at home. This looks very similar to the snails I recently ate at a very good seafood restaurant, but I have not tried it. If you try it, review it and I will change as necessary. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Shelly has a glowing complexion. She likes compliments like that. There ya go!"
