I first discovered Tim Tams from Youtube.com, believe it or not. One of the people I subscribe to is an Australian girl that puts together some very creative and funny videos, even if her topics tend to be very random. She kept talking about something called Tim Tams and …

When it comes to shrimp, I will practically put them with anything. When it comes to seafood, for me, shrimp is up there with crabs. I’ve heard of shrimp scampi, but I had never had the opportunity to try it. I didn’t want to squander money at a restaurant …
