Okay, my shrimp on a stick recipe just doesn't work, I've tried it three times and the cheese oozes out and burns on the broiler pan or drips into the lava rock. I re-invented the flavors using bottled grape leaves. Read more Since I'm low carbing it, this fits the bill nicely. Great little treat and I don't miss my dolmas quite so much. See less
