    Drunken Shrimp a La Greque, This dish is so easy and so good It can be served warm or at room temperature It can be made ahead, refrigerated, and then brought to room temperature before serving It’s a lovely appetizer or it can be served as a main dish The grilling of the melon and the pepper can be omitted, but the carmelization that happens in the grilling really adds a dimension to the flavor , Very nice flavors! This is a great summer dish I love to find unusual dishes Thanks so much!, Wow! This was phenomenol! I grilled the canteloupe and pepper as per Chef Kate’s suggestion and we just loved everything about this Left out the couscous this time as we had a lot of food going on today (father’s day) Loved everything about this luscious appy
