I remember my mom making this recipe when her "Gourmet" group came for dinner. It made the house smell wonderful and tasted rich and decadent. Think of it as a kind of scampi. This recipe came from the Bon Apetit cookbook, "Too Busy to Cook." It would be a great dish to make for your shrimp loving honey on Valentine's Day. Enjoy!
