Oh my.....but this was some GOOD stuff!!! I never tried this recipe as was originally written.....but that's half the fun of being creative in the kitchen.....you change this.....add that.....and you come up with something that has your stamp on it! This is one of those dishes.....which pretty much says it for roughly 90% of the recipes on this blog. We just served up a bowl of the shrimp with some of the sauce over top, and had a nice crusty chunk of French bread to dip into the melted butter. Oh.So.Yum!!!
