4:32 - Finishing Touches & The Taste Test!
🛒 INGREDIENTS LIST
I was disappointed. Your dish had a nice crust that I’m assuming you put cheese on it that you didn’t mention. Not sure I’ll make this again.
2 dozen shrimp (16-20 peeled and deveined)
4 Garlic cloves, minced
I'm surprised to see virgin olive oil was used in 1960 I never knew anyone that used it back then
1/4 lb. Butter
4 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Wow looks delicious
1 Lemon juice
4 tbsp. Breadcrumbs (or Dad's secret crunch!)
Thank you so much 😊 looks superb!!!!
2 tbsp. Fresh parsley
1/2 cup White wine
This is INSANELY easy and INSANELY good. Who knew it was so easy to get my shrimp fix? Thai’s so much for this recipe!
salt & black pepper to taste
