Notes
-
- Shrimp: We like extra large shrimp for this recipe, but any size will work.
-
- Blue Cheese: There are SO many kinds, and really any kind will work. We like Gorgonzola for the milder taste…if you want some kick in your blue cheese go for Roquefort. We do recommend getting a block and crumbling it yourself (instead of getting the pre-crumbled kind) for the freshest taste.
