POACHED SHRIMP
This is a great way to make shrimp for an appetizer. Has lots of flavour on it's own or served with a dip. I served it with the Mango Lime Mayonaise (Recipe # 371004) for a party and everyone loved it. Poach the shrimp with the shells on as it adds more flavour and then peel them before serving. I got this recipe off a blog on the internet about a Cobb Salad.

[email protected]This recipe was a disappointment. The shrimp were tough and flavorless. I won't be making this again.

[email protected]The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

[email protected]Easy peasy! I'm not much of a cook, but this recipe was so simple to follow. The shrimp were done in no time and they were delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

[email protected]This recipe is a real keeper! The shrimp turned out perfectly tender and flavorful. I especially loved the addition of the lemon and garlic. I served it over a bed of rice and it was a hit with my family. Definitely a 5-star recipe!
