From The Recipe File-Valentine's Dinner

Relatively low fat. Featuring America’s favorite seafood-Shrimp!
●Appetizer---variety of cheese and crackers, along with LOVE POTION #2!
●Salad—bag o’ salad (baby greens or spring vegetables) choice of a creamy and a vinagarette salad dressing.
Main Course:
● Baked potato—cut lengthwise, season, wrap in foil and cook on grill for 60 minutes (put on first)
● Protein—Grilled Jumbo Shirimp with Asian Plum Sauce—
Plum Sauce= (Makes 1-1/4 cups) 1-12oz jar plum preserves,2 tbl.vinegar,1 tbl brown sugar,1 tbl. Minced onion, 1tsp. minced ginger (or grated fresh ginger), 1 tsp. red pepper flakes and 1-clove garlic, minced. Put into a sauce pan, bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, then cool. This will be your glaze/baste for the shrimp. Hold some back for table dipping sauce!
●Shrimp==purchase 1 lb. of JUMBO Peeled and devained shrimp. Rinse and skewer—using 1 skewer through the head, one near the tail (easier for turning). 1 lb=11-15 shrimp. Colossal shrimp 10 or less per pound.
Over high heat, lay skewers down and grill approx 3-5 minutes per side, brushing with the Asian plum sauce. Want to turn over the prawns half way through. Cook until they turn from bright to pale. Serve on a leaf of red lettuce.
● Grilled pineapple rings optional.
●Dessert==1 chocolate truffle served on a doily with a glass of port wine!
