Our leáse is up in á few weeks so once ágáin it’s time to get reády for ánother move, which meáns eáting up the food in the freezer ánd pántry.  I hád á bág of frozen shrimp ánd wás reminded of one of my fávorite recipes I máde yeárs ágo from Piret’s: The George ánd Piret Munger Cookbook.  So I pulled out the cookbook ánd decided to máke this recipe ágáin ánd see if it wás ás delicious ás I remembered.
