   Peel shrimp leaving tails and slice down middle deveining as you go.

   Also, try stuffing mushrooms which only take 10-15 minutes in the oven, same temp.

7. 7

   To prepare for a party, prepare trays, cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator, then just place in oven when ready and serve in 15 minutes!

   Having medium shrimp saves money and makes more of a finger-food size.
