In our family cookbook there is one entry that I always smile when I read. My husband’s mother named one of her recipes – Mommy Tired Daddy Inspired! That is exactly how this recipe originated – we got home late and what’s for dinner. I had some shrimp in the refrigerator and decided broiling it would be quicker that starting the grill. I threaded the shrimp on skewers along with lemon wedges – added a few quick ingredients and the results were outstanding. i just wish we had some crusty bread to dip in the wonderful sauce – next time…
