This was another part of Italian Feast. The shrimp were delicious but we felt the dipping sauce could have been more garlicy. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.

This recipe is excellent! The only thing I did different was cut the dipping sauce in half. I found that it made a huge amount and that there were leftovers
