Baked Shrimp


Just like the title of the recipe says--this is easy baked shrimp! We were grilling last night (yes, still a little cold for that!) and had some people over so I popped this in the oven while the meat was on the grill. Simple ingredients (use regular paprika, dried dill, regular bread crumbs if you don't have what it calls for). Here is the original recipe. It's something that everyone liked--Enjoy!
