This is such a simple, healthy meal. Everyone in my family enjoys it. The secret to this is the shrimps… If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, you have to pick these up and try them. They are Wild Argentinian Red Shrimp. They taste like a combo between shrimp and lobster. And they are delicious. I have to buy two bags to feed my family($9.99 per bag). I think that is a pretty good price for wild shrimp.
