Not really sure where the original part of the recipe came from. but started from a copy of a recipe given to my girlfriend as her and a co-worker were discussing what they had for Valentines dinner. If I can locate the original, or who created it, I will edit and add a comment / link. I will say that this turned out way better then I anticipated and therefore added it here as something to not only share, but keep for my future use. Bottom line….It was good! the original recipe was more of a soup (shrimp and sauce) and served with french bread or over grits. we added the rice and veggies to make it how we like it, and add more of a dinner feel vs a soup. Enjoy!
