"Another "California Sizzles" recipe. Have not tried it yet, but I like the idea of boiling the shrimp first and then covering it with a spicy, lemony marinade. It is served chilled after marinating in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours (not included in prep time). An easy and delicious appetizer."
