This recipe is a throw-back from so very long ago! I love this, and so glad I was able to find once again. I made this last evening for our impromptu dinner party - and it took about 6 hours to chill. I used small shrimp and added about 1 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning. This was so wonderful, and had hoped that I could of had some left for today. I don't, all gone within minutes!

I love to cook, read recipe books and food magazines,spend time in kitchen stores, grocery stores, gourmet shops, learning new cooking techniques, trying new kitchen gadgets,tasting exotic foods,enjoying a wonderful meal. I've always had a herb garden; now I have containers on my patio with my must have herbs. It seems, everything tastes better with fresh herbs!
