I cannot believe that I have not reviewed this recipe yet! We love these! I had to modify the recipe a little as it is hard to find fresh shrimp in our area, but I got wonderful results with frozen shrimp! I also like to add some fresh minced garlic! Yummy! Thanks so much for posting what has become one of our favorite treats!
