Marcus, can you tell me where that recipe for shrimp locksley came from? I love that stuff when I'm down at the beach and hope this is something I can try to reproduce!

It was from a local caterer here in Baldwin County, Alabama, a few years ago. I'm not sure if he is still living here, as his web site is defunct. It is a delicious dish, though......
