- Comments:This recipe has been in our family for years. It is usually easy to find fresh shrimp at local markets or possibly at the fishing docks. The fresher the better. It is a great entree served with rice as there is plenty of extra tasty sauce.
- Caesar salad goes well with it. The BBQ version is also delicious and is our favorite. After all ingredients except shrimp are warmed and mixed, pour over shrimp in a mixing bowl. Take shrimp out after 5 min and grill on high heat on BBQ. Turn after 1 minute and remove when no longer clear. Heat remaining sauce to a boil and serve as sauce with the rice.
