Personal Notes:
Azzie's eggplant and shrimp is my very favorite dish. When I was growing up, Azzie fixed this dish often as it was one of the family's favorite. If you like eggplant and you like shrimp you're sure in for a treat! My brother, Phillip, made this dish as good as anyone. Some of my favorite memories of Azzie was crawling up in her bed and she would read to me from her Bible but sometimes she would tell me stories that would make my hair stand on end!!The thing is, I never knew Azzie to tell a lie, so I believed every word she said! You wouldn't believe the stories I could tell you that she told me. Your hair would stand on end too!!!
