This sounds yummy except I'm not sure I personally would like the sweetness. So I might make it but leave out the marmalade but seeing all the great reviews I could be wrong. Maybe I'll make some with and without marmalade. Good luck in the contest!!

I used precooked peeled steamed shrimp to save time. Worked great!

These little morsels are YUMMY!! I made them for a holiday gathering and they were a big hit.....just enough savory, sweetness and a bit of "zippiness". I will be making them again for an Easter brunch.
