This is a great recipe - especially good on a hot summer's evening as we had last night. I made the shrimp mixture ahead of time and when it was time to eat I mixed in the sauce, and plated it with the butter lettuce right before serving. The butter lettuce is a perfect choice -- mild with a sweet flavor. When I made the sauce, I tasted it and it was so good I doubled the recipe and passed the extra at the table. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!
