Shrimp with Henry Bain Sauce

a fun appetizer to incite conversation

In 1881 Henry Bain created his special sauce for serving with game animals. Today, you can use the sauce in much the same way. With the leftovers, marinate steak or chicken, or just toss it on top of a brick of cream cheese and serve it with crackers. I think that it works really well with this recipe.

Shrimp Piccata and Honey Baked Ham Stuffed Shrimp are other easy and fun appetizers to serve when entertaining friends and family.
