I never made anything so delicious in my life! Eveyone I make it for, loves it. And I have made it at least 30 times. It's great for company, parties or to cook every night for dinner. Trust me, if you want anyone to think you're a great cook, make this simple dinner. My boss was the last person to try it and said it was so good that it was restaurant quality cooking.

I found this recipe from Southern Living Magazine mid 90's. My cousin even included it in our family cookbook. It's so simple and so good. I have left over homemade chunky tomato sauce and shrimp in the freezer. Dinner tomorrow is planned! Add a salad and french bread and your set.
