shrimp kisses
(1 rating)
This recipe adapted from a seafood restaurant in Galveston called "Fish Tails," which has since closed. My best friend and I used to borrow my Mom's Mazda Miata and cruise the Galveston sea wall during the summer months. We would stop at Fish Tails, along with several other sea wall restaurants, and order these and a drink. Shrimp Kisses are SO addictive.
