Make sure if you try this scrumptious dish, that you have plenty of good crusty bread, to sop up those delicious juices! This is one of my very favorite shrimp recipes...My SIL made this one night for us...I just had to have the recipe...I tweaked it some to our liking, and made it mine...:) Enjoy!
