"Hors d'oeuvres have always a pathetic interest for me; they remind me of one's childhood that one goes through wondering what the next course is going to be like-and during the rest of the menu one wishes one had eaten more of the hors d'oeuvres."
H. H. Munro (1870-1916), Scottish author

The first time I made this my neighbor knocked on the door and said friends were coming over and would I like to join. Of course I obliged and took my shrimp. Boy, oh boy was it a hit! It's been a favorite ever since. Works well as an appetizer or a main dish.
