Shrimp in Dijon Vinaigrette

Submitted by College Girl

"THIS IS SO DELICIOUS! One of my top recipes of all time! An easy-to-make appetizer or first course. The flavors will intensify when marinated overnight. Serve in a large bowl lined with lettuce and kale for a fancy look. This is the best shrimp ever. It has become a staple for all "impress the guests" meals. It's easy! This shrimp is a perfect appetizer. I got this from a really fabulous book called Above & Beyond Parsley presented by the Junior League of Kansas City, Missouri."
