I have not made butterfly shrimp since sometime in the late 90's. Not because I do not love them but because I have a hard time not eating them all! I remember being about 8 years old and eating so many butterfly shrimp that I could not move without my belly hurting. You would think I would have learned a lesson... But I haven't. I will still eat them until I feel like my tummy is going to EXPLODE! As luck would have it we had company at the house and I was not able to gorge myself. Enjoy because if you don't I will!
