The flavor from the EVOO and Vinegar were to die for. Absolutely amazing! I will probably add cherry tomatoes next time.

This recipe has a little bit too much salt(sodium) in it, so I used a half an envelope of the Italian dressing and added 3 purreed cloves of fresh garlic and an extra Tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. It was terrific. I would make this recipe as often as I could get the fresh schrimp reasonably priced.
