Recipe Introduction


Friends Diane and Eddie brought this for an impromptu pool party at Elle & Rick's. WOW! This dish is so simple and yet soooooo spectacular. Smoked Spanish paprika was used in the spice blend, and I'm convinced that grilling over coals made a big difference. I have only a gas grill but will make this dish often regardless of the cooking method available.
