Someone's aunt's second cousin's sister-in-law's neighbor always brings them...and they always insist that they have the best recipe. This year you'll have them all beat when you pull up with my Garlic Head Shrimp Boats! My Shrimp Boats make deviled eggs so much more devilish with a taste that's both smooth and garlicky. By using Garlic Head concentrated barbecue sauce you can actually eliminate some of the ingredients in traditional recipes...and replace them with some that aren't so traditional!
