I love this recipe! It’s so quick to make, and so much fun to eat…hehehehee! As a Mommy to two amazing and energetic Bambinos, time is of the utmost essence when taking care of my body (which is a priority if I want to keep up with them). I love being able to vary the ingredients (and their quantities) to my taste, and to whomever I’m serving it to. Be flexible, and enjoy! TIP: Make the shrimp ahead and regriferate, to cut down on prep time (especially during the week).
