This was very very good. Loved the stuffing mixture, although I did leave out the celery because I forgot to buy some. I'll cut back on the stuffing mixture next time since it seemed to over power the shrimp. I'll just put a little on each shrimp next time. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for PRMR :)

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
