Note
This Shrimp Appetizer is inspired by a recipe I found in Rachael Ray's magazine.
The combination of seasonings is delicious, and the cooked shrimp are gorgeous. This is a perfect shrimp appetizer for a small dinner party. The shrimp cook up really fast -- you could put the final touches on this shrimp appetizer while your guests are getting settled (my preference!). Or, cook even before your guests arrive -- this shrimp appetizer is delicious at room temperature too!
