Directions

I thought some of you good folks would like to try it, too. It's from the March '83 issue of Southern Living and is by Ed Tarbutton of San Marcos, Texas -- hope he's still around, cause his recipe is great.

Place shimp in a shallow pan; cover with milk. Let stand in refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Position knife blade in food processor bowl, add next 8 ingredients, and process 30 seconds or until well mixed.

With processor running, add the butter through the food chute. Process until sauce is thickened and then set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet to 375F. Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Drain shrimp and dredge in flour mixture. Fry shrimp in hot oil, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Arrange shrimp in 4 or 5 individual baking dishes, and top with the sauce.

Broil shrimp for about 45 seconds. Yeild 4-5 servings.

(Note from Lyn: this makes an appetizer serving of about four shrimp each, but it is really really rich -- yum. With french bread and a salad, it is a "sumptuous meal" in the words of the original cook) Posted to FOODWINE Digest 16 Dec 96 From: Lyn Belisle <belisle@...> Date: Mon, 16 Dec 1996 20:00:19 -0600
