OK, I didn't even make this myself, but my friend just brought it over. Amazing! A great make-ahead appetizer. And if my friend reads this... THANK YOU!
West Indies Shrimp
Becky Luigart-Stayner
You can cook and peel the shrimp early in the day, then cover and chill. You can also make the marinade in the morning, but don't combine the two components until about 45 minutes to one hour before you expect your guests to arrive.
