Christmas Recipes (Boozy Edition): Nutty Drunken Shrimps 

A disappointment that turned out to be a Yummy blessing!

It was a Sunday morning, I was going to make whisky sauce using normal unsalted butter with shrimps but then I looked in the refrigerator and there was no butter. Stores around me would be closed till about Noon. Already had my mind set on spiked saucy shrimps, no way I was going back. Then, my eyes came across a jar of peanut butter……arghhh! In my head, my guinea pigs (Dilly and Jamiliah) would be forced to eat this meal but surprisingly we loved the result so much, my dining table won’t be complete without it this Christmas.
