Yabbadabbadoo! This was super easy and SO yummy. Well, it is impossible for me to actually follow a recipe exactly; I used some bacon grease instead of butter, and since I couldn't find frozen peas and didn't want to look for them in my freezer, I used fresh broccoli, cut up small. The broccoli came out crunchy and flavorful, like in stir-frys. I used frozen shrimp. I omitted the cayenne. I doubled the recipe and served it over my whole wheat oven bannock. Yum! By the way, I just couldn't pass up a recipe with "wiggle" in the title!

I’ve had Shrimp Wiggle since I was a kid in Ballard in the early 1950’s...real butter and the usual white sauce with milk or half and half...salt and pepper and right now at Costco fresh cold water shrimp for $12 for a quart...fabulous and very very fresh..but it’s always been served on hot buttered white bread toast.,

Just like my mom Rhodena made it. Saltines and all. Making for dinner.
