Sweet and spicy, these shrimp marinate overnight bathed in red wine vinegar, lemon, sugar, garlic, and jalapeño peppers. They're a favorite appetizer. I serve this at every party I host and have learned to have copies of the recipe handy. Read more I hope it finds a place in your favorite appetizer recipe box as well. Enjoy!! See less
