I read this recipe and realized I had all the ingredients and decided to do it instead of the pasta/veggie/chx stir fry I had planned -- I'm looking forward to it, I love shrimp!

Thanks for posting this, Karen! I didn't get to the store today (I let the kids play in the splash pad after soccer, in their clothes, since I didn't bring swimsuits...so they were soaked!). I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner, and I have everything I need for this! It sounds easy and yummy!

You're welcome. I think I'll make it this week too. I have to see if I can find some fresh shrimp. I'm no longer buying it in the grocery store (stinky!).
