As we waited in their sitting area, which is cool in itself, a waitress came along and offered us a "Saucy Shrimp Appetizer" sample. Both Mike and I loved it and the taste was great!!! We don't near always order appetizers we go out to eat, but we just had to this time around!!!
We left the restaurant and I started googling for the shrimp recipe. I found a few and tried one last night. I loved the smell it gave to my kitchen and the taste was worth every effort. I just wish Mike would, just once, rave about something good to eat!!! It takes an awful lot to get Mike fussing about good food! Just not a passion of his. (I can't imagine how much more I would bake if he would rave!) Anyway, he did enjoy the shrimp too but I guess I was looking for some extraordinary outburst of delight!!! The kids even loved! Thanks for the compliments guys!!!
If you are into some seafood for this weekend, try these! So yum!!!
