Poached Shrimp image

This is a great way to make shrimp for an appetizer. Has lots of flavour on it's own or served with a dip. I served it with the Mango Lime Mayonaise (Recipe # 371004) for a party and everyone loved it. Poach the shrimp with the shells on as it adds more flavour and then peel them before serving. I got this recipe off a blog on the internet about a Cobb Salad.
