The choices were, crab sauce, shrimp scampi, meat gravy, vodka sauce and alfredo sauce, I was shocked when two out of the three requested vodka sauce. If it were me I would have had a hard time deciding over crab sauce and shrimp scampi. Vodka sauce would not have been a consideration, it was after all a prize and I would have wanted the seafood choice. The employees who won did rave over the vodka sauce and I am happy to share this with you. I guess it was the best choice after all.
NJM Bank, thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity, I was honored to be a part of such a wonderful occasion and I had a great time preparing the baskets!
Feel free to add chicken, shrimp, peas or a combination of them.
