Getting ready for the Superbowl.... February 2, 2014!

   Tony is an avid Football fan , he watches all the games and is up to date on all the stats.
 For me, I only get excited about football when it is Superbowl time, I think, I am more interested in the idea of friends getting together and enjoying delicious food and drinks - in short, I am more interested in the Superbowl party!
   Whether we are hosting or have been invited to a party - the question always is - What should we make ?
My sister-in- law Kathy, really perfected this recipe and she has been nice enough to share it with me , so I can share it with you !
Our whole family looks forward to eating these shrimp at every gathering - thank you Kathy!
I hope this will become a "go to" recipe for your gatherings also!
A quick sauté for the shrimp and you are done, enjoy!
