  1. This is so cool, you blogging your recipes! I'll be visiting this place regularly.

    I am boring about shrimp. I need to try this.

    You have me a marinade a long time ago with tarragon and other stuff in it (white wine, i think) and it used to get so many compliments. But i lost it. Any chance you still have it kicking around?
