I made a shrimp recipe last night that was delicious. Just buy a package of commercial ham sandwich slices cut very thin.I cut the long side of ham into three slices then wrap one slice around a large cooked shrimp.I cook several of them at once in an olive oil base or just cook the shrimp by itself - 9/19/13
