Engagment Dinner Shrimp

Last January my now Husband took me to Cancun on a surprise vacation! It was so nice and he had it all planned out, all he told me to do was pack a swimsuit and my passport. The first night we got there he told me to just throw on a dress because we were just grabbing dinner. We walked down to the beach side restaurant and the host walked us past the restaurant and all the way down to the beach to our private table on the sand. There was candles lit and a bottle of my favorite wine waiting for us. I had no idea anything was going to happen, we had a 5 course meal coming! The 1st course was a grilled shrimp over a perfectly cooked scallop with a creamed spinach on top. After our 1st course Dustin asked the waiter to take our photo and that is where he purposed! Here is the recipe for the shrimp!
