This shrimp appetizer is a game-changer. I first had this 2 years ago, when we spent Christmas in Santa Barbara. My sister-in-law, Kathy, made this from her grandmother’s recipe. Beth has the same grandmother. Beth and I have been married nearly 35 years. Why is it, I first learned of this masterpiece just 2 years ago? As always, Beth has been holding out on me. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
