I clicked on this recipe because I liked the name. Moose shrimp? LOL!!! I made my first batch of Moose Shrimp last night and served it along with bacon wrapped grilled filet mignon for our 5th wedding anniversary. Hubby liked it so much that it guaranteed me a lifetime of anniversaries! Simply delicious with just enough spice to make your mouth happy. Thanks Millie!
