Subject: Shrimp Recipe
Greetings from South Carolina!
In 1990-1997 (more or less) I made a recipe that came from the side of
Progresso Bread Crumbs.
It called for shrimp, scallions (I think), garlic (lots) butter (lots) and
Progresso plain bread crumbs. It may have had some parmesan and lemon juice
in it. You mix all of your ingredients and bake it in the oven for a few
minutes. It was absolutely delicious and my family loved it.
Anyway, I lost this recipe in a move. A couple of years ago, I accessed the
Progresso site. I explained the recipe I was looking for and a lady wrote
back and said it sure sounded good but she had no idea what I was talking
about.
I have spent most of the morning surfing, looking for it or an acceptable
substitute. I have found nothing and the Progresso site says it is under
construction. Although I might get the same answer as last time.
Really hoping you can find this recipe. It was great. This recipe did not
call for white wine (I don't think). If it did I never added it.
Thank You
Jennifer
