Mmmmm...does sound good Fred. I'm going to try it as soon as prawn season opens and my BIL gets back

They came out very, very good. Actually, I did not really detect much of the tequila and a bit of
lime and might use more of both altho, you do not want to "stew" the shrimp in them. And maybe it
was serving it over Kasha which has a full bodied taste itself might have disguised the flavors but
I will definitely do it again.
Very simple and very quick

You are welcome. I will use Costco frozen ones. Now I need limes but I also have fresh but cooked
tuna left from last night. It will be a repeat dinner with kasha and salad.

That's the second comment that people hate shrimp. I just don't understand how that can be (g). They
are sweet and have a wonderful flavor. Oh, more for the rest of us....

Well, yup, they are not kosher nor are any of the traditional what some term "shellfish" or
"seafood" or, as you mention, pork. For some reason "seafood" did not connote ordinary fish but the
shell variety.

what I read was the scavenger verse, thankfully I had already passed the
pork part. I used to love shrimp but the day after I read this and was
thinking about what a scavenger was we went out and I ordered a shrimp
cocktail and it turned my stomach when I smelled it, now it doesn't bother
me if DH eats it but I juts have no desire for it, I was considering trying
to find a verse about the evils of cheese, Lee

Do NOT go looking through scripture about the evils of cheese or I might have to do something evil

Cheese has no evils other than as a cheeseburger! No milk and meat together.
