I think this would be wonderful for a Summer party. I think it could be used as a starter, side or even a main course for a light meal after adding some pasta.
I liked the element of adding the truffles.

- Saute the shrimp for about a minute on each side in a hot saute pan coated with 2 tbs of olive oil.
