- Also, try stuffing mushrooms which only take 10-15 minutes in the oven, same temp.
- To prepare for a party, prepare trays, cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator, then just place in oven when ready and serve in 15 minutes!
- Having medium shrimp saves money and makes more of a finger-food size.
- I've made extra and frozen some to be used as side dishes.
- If you can't get seafood where you live, you can order all supplies from a seafood place in Florida- Joe Patti's Seafood online.
- Even mid-westerners can enjoy a special fresh seafood treat.
