This was a great appetizer that I made to bring to my sisters. I served it in a bread bowl, with bread pieces, and pita and bagel chips. Everyone dug in and helped themselves, and the bowl was empty when I left! It was a big hit with my family, and I look forward to making and sharing this again and again! Thank you for sharing it with us Appleydapply! Made for Zaar Stars Tag Game 5/09 Linda

Made for the Best of 2008 cookbook game as a prize, this is a very tasty & easy quick-fix. I made a half recipe for 2 of us, used minced leek for the onion & added a generous amt of Old Bay Seasoning as a pers pref. My DH started his Easter holiday after work today & welcomed this as a treat to celebrate w/a glass of wine. Thx for sharing the recipe w/us.

Excellent appetizer! This is one of the best. I used cooked frozen, thawed shrimp, cut up and the rest as written. I wish I would have made more, it is delicious. Served with Carr's sesame crackers.
