Notes
If you are not a fan of Shrimp or just want to change it up, try substituting the Shrimp for Scallops, Chicken or go sans meat and add in more vegetables, like zucchini and mushrooms.This is a quick dish to prepare, when cooking with Shrimp or seafood, always work quickly so that you do not overcook the seafood.
