A lovely snack anytime. The taste of the garlic is very subtle and so if you like garlic, you may need to add more.

I started this two days ago, as I thought I would grab those shrimp, and literally throw them into a plastic baggy overnight with all the marinade ingredients. I had one pound of 13-15 size shrimp, (x-jumbo) so I did cut the marinade in half. I did keep to the 2 garlic cloves though. I kept the shells on, (I use them in stock afterwards) and the aroma by the next morning was superduperamazingwazing! I was using these shrimp in Sunset Orzo With Spanish Shrimp so this was a great base of flavor on the shrimp. I must confess that I stole 3 shrimp and ate them in private, ( ) and we are minus 3 shrimp. Oh well! They were tasty and beyond delightful. Use a an appetizer, or in a dish, either way lovely, lovely. Made for Everyday is a Holiday April 2009

I made this for "Every day is a Holiday" tab game. Oh boy!! We loved it! Great for a snack, but also great for part of a lunch or dinner. My DH wants me to send it to his sister, since they do a lot of entertaining, and this would be great for something like that. I followed the recipe exactly, and used the wine instead of the chicken broth. To be honest, at first bite I thought, nice but that was all. But when I ate more, the subtleties of the flavor started coming through. I did make the full amount, but to be honest it served only the two of us. And had I been by myself, I would have simply eaten it all - alone. Thanks CoffeeB, for a great recipe

This smelled really lovely while marinating and cooking, but the flavour didn't really deliver. We would have preferred it a bit stronger. I marinated the shrimp for 4 hours and doubled the garlic. I think reducing the amount of oil in the marinade would help. Thanks for posting.
