Perfect for my Christmas buffet!! My family couldn't believe how delicious these were and most had very little to say since they were eating them up. Thank you for an unbelievably delicious appetizer. It's worth more than 5 stars.

Excellent recipe! Very nice flavor. DH gave these 10 stars! I made half a recipe and used largish mushrooms and what they call the medium sized shrimp at my market. Just yummy! Thanks for sharing!

Add a small amount of finely chopped pickled jalapeno (to taste) and substitute med. crawfish tails for the shrimp and you will have a true gourmet dish that will win raves from the most discriminating of gourmets.

I made these for a 50th birthday party last night. Instead of using raw shrimp I used the baby canned shrimp and mixed it in wiht the butter and garlic. They came out great. They flew off the plate.
