Willow and I had this at a beautiful little restaurant
20 years ago this summer. We just loved it and
between the two of us, decided that we could
probably figure out the recipe.
After a little trial and error, this is it!
It's been a favorite of our family ever since.
Oh, I know my man would love this! He came home with fresh peel-and-eat-'em shrimp over the weekend. Good recipe sleuthing. I'll give this one a try!
