If you like shrimp, a bit of spice and a quick and easy meal, this recipe is for you!! I am all about simple, but good when it comes to food...I may be too simple for some! Tom has said numerous times that I'm such a good cook, I laugh every time he says that...after I tell him thank you. I appreciate him saying that, but I really have a lot to still learn about cooking and technique. What I am good at is sticking to the basics and learning how to add flavor to dishes. My point is that YOU can be impressive in the kitchen, just keep it simple and spice it up!!! As long as he likes my cooking, that's all that really matters, right?
Hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
