Tasty Tuesday: Homemade Shrimp "Paesano"

Here in San Antonio we have one of my favorite restaurants, Paesano's. They have the most delicious shrimp "paesano", crab cakes, smashed potatoes and my favorite vino, Sonoma Cutrer! 
I have been wanting to make my own "Shrimp Paesano" for sometime and this past week I did just that! Now...let me warn you that this is a very unhealthy dish and you will be very mad at me when you make it and enjoy it! I am going to try to make the sauce a little differently {healthier} in the next few weeks and will make sure to share it when I do!
