When deciding what to make for my Plugra Gourmet Club Dinner Party, I knew I wanted to go with something simple, yet delicious (the Bakes in Slippers motto). For an appetizer you want food that is easy to prep, taste delicious, and has your guests looking forward to the main course. With that in mind I made Garlic Butter Shrimp. Just like the recipe name says, you use lots of garlic and butter - add some parsley & wine and you have an appetizer that welcomes your guests in style!
