Barbecued Shrimp

"Source: "The Webb/Hughes Journal" This is NOT a white tablecloth "Company" dish! This is a protect the table with newspaper or throwaway paper tablecloth, roll up you sleeves and dive in with people that you are comfortable with while eating with your fingers kind of thing. Forget napkins paper or otherwise. Have a couple of rolls of paper towels handy. These shrimp are cooked in a sauce while still in the shell. Ain't no way to be neat while peeling and eating them."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I lve in the SouthEast corner of KY just over the VA state line.Been married to the same guy for 35+ years. We work from home - desktop printing - business cards, invoices, flyers and the like for small businesses. I don't think I have a favorite cookbook. I have hundreds. Hard back, soft cover and electronic. I have been collecting them since I was 10 and then I inherited my Dad's collection. When I get a new recipe I follow it the first time. From then on it is "what if" all the way. Just can't resist tinkering. I enjoy politics, history, geneology, and the history of food. My all time biggest peeve is those people who will not or cannot differenciate between fact and belief. If I had a month off and the money to do it I would spend the entire time in the restored area of Colonial Williamsburg, taking every hands on seminar I could.
