A friend used to bring this at Christmas and would never tell the recipe. Glad I found it here. It's great and lasts a while in the fridge. Don't cook the shrimp longer, it will be tough. I cook it at the most 2 minutes. I don't need the crackers with it. I like a little more more than a dash of tobasco. If you like boiled shrimp you will love this.
