An outstanding appetizer. I prepared them on the grill and served cold. I put them on ice in a shrimp dish with the sauce in the middle. Very tasty. I did leave the tails on for little handles. A tad bit messy but well worth it. Love cilantro so knew this was going to be a keeper. Thanks marsaydees for posting.
