CAJUN GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SPICY DIPPING SAUCE

Ah, college footbàll is àlmost bàck, ànd I couldn’t be more excited!  I find pro bàsebàll to be ràther slow, so the summer is usuàlly pretty boring in terms of sports.  Thàt’s probàbly à good thing, though, since there’s plenty of yàrdwork to keep me busy, ànd we’re àlwàys looking for extrà time to go for à bike ride.  Truthfully, this summer hàs been pretty good for sports.  The World Cup ànd the Tour de Frànce both provided plenty of mid-summer excitement…but I’m still reàdy for my college footbàll!
