Discover how to grill shrimp using this simple marinade that makes the shrimp so delicious you don’t even need cocktail sauce. You won’t even taste the cayenne pepper, so don’t let that worry you. My little ones adore it. It is also a big hit with company and easy to prepare. If the weather isn’t conducive to grilling outside, I make this dish with frozen or fresh shrimp and use my indoor electric barbecue. Try serving it with garlic bread, a baked potato, and a salad.

Very yummy and easy pie! I didn’t have molasses so I used maple syrup (the pancake type) and I added sliced almonds for texture. Would also be great with chopped pecans or walnuts!
Delicious. Just like how I remember it in Lancaster P.A. where I used to vacation as a kid with my family. I hadn’t had it in almost 20 yrs and happened to come across this recipe here and I didn’t think I could make it cause it seems difficult but It turned out to be pretty easy and to Amish Perfection! Thank you! This definitely will be my favorite fall time desert for me.
This is such an easy recipe. I made it just as given and waited for comments from my son who had this at Yoders Restaurant in Florida. To my surprise both he and my daughter-in-law said this was much better than Yoder’s and that says a lot. Thanks for the recipe, new family regular. As for consistency it was perfect and crumbles didn’t fall through had a wonderful smooth top just like posted picture.
This pie was so easy and delicious. I did have to change one thing and I used splenda brown sugar and used 1/2 of the 2/3 cup as recommended on the package and it was perfect! I’ll never buy one again!
This is a very easy recipe, and the flavor was very good. I rated it it 4 stars for though it set up nice, the consistency was more like a cake than a pie, and the crumbles on top fell through, and left deep indents in the pie.
