Submitted by OneYetTwo

"If you’re looking for a great appetizer this is it! It is a wonderful infused olive oil that has so much flavor that people will keep going back for more. The shrimp add a sensational sweetness to the oil, plus they are extremely tasty. If you want you can jazz it up more by adding cherry tomatoes, olives, peppers, or anything else you can imagine. I made this on Father’s day and everybody gobbled it up right away. It is quick and simple to make, making it perfect for all occasions. Enjoy!"
