Although we do love shrimp, it's not something I prepare here at home! However, this was one of the recipe I made as part of my contribution to a neighborhood seafood fest, & I followed your recipe right on down! Absolutely great & a definite keeper! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]

When I was younger I was never taught how to cook. My mom cooked dinner almost every night for us as kids but for some reason never had the time to show me how. After getting married at the age of 22 and also having a baby I started teaching myself the extremely basic things but got frustrated when I tried making things because they never turned out right. Finally at the age of 26 I started getting the hang of this cooking thing after many a trial and error. Now I cook homemade, heathly dinners for my family almost every night even as I have a full time job. When I found recipezaar.com I fell in love! This website is amazing and has helped me find so many great recipes.
