Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
tasted great, however u15 means there are 15 shrimp on average per pound. u50-60 means the shrimp are tiny at 50-60 per pound = 3 shrimp per ounce, U6 are monsters at almost 3 ounces each.
Just made these last night, excellent recipe! The chili tomato butter is delicious and I found I only needed half of it for this recipe. Looking forward to trying it with others things off the grill.
