I cannot believe where the time went. September was a crazy busy month with a lot of traveling and time just slipped off from my hands. Coming back to the kitchen, an easy peasy recipe has to be this shrimp dinner. It is a quick recipe and is so good, both for a weeknight dinner or for entertaining guests. My son especially loves shrimp in any shape or form and the most convenient thing about using shrimp as an ingredient, is how quickly it cooks. This dish is ready within just a few minutes @sarchakra
