Flavorful Grilled Shrimp by John Spottiswood

This is a classic grilled shrimp recipe originally from Craig Clairborne's NYT cookbook, then adapted by Ina Garten, and then finally perfected by me. :-) Seriously, this is a wonderful staple to have in your pantry of recipes.

Like said in some of my other recipes, we live on the Texas Gulf Coast so we are lucky to get our hands on hands on shrimp and crab. This is a great appetizer and you have to limit yourself or you will ruin your dinner - I've done it a time or two!

Andra's Crab Dip by Andra Kiser

After trying so many different crab dip recipes and not finding exactly what I was looking for, I combined my favorite ingredients from a few different recipes to create my favorite blend.
