San Francisco was amazing and such a fun, much needed trip. I loved getting away from my routine, doing something spontaneous and exploring a new city for a weekend. I cannot wait to bring Q back to explore some more.
This week I have a delicious shrimp dish for you. My mom and I made this for dinner a few week’s ago and we loved the simplicity of it. It’s a simple 25-minute dinner which has been one of our favorites this year. The shrimp has a huge punch of flavor for not too much effort (always nice). We found the best way to serve it is over brown rice with a small salad on the side.
The key to this dish is to buy the freshest and highest quality shrimp posible. Since the shrimp are the stars of the show, it’s important to get them as fresh as possible. For us, we bought shrimp at the Farmers’ Market on Sunday and prepared this for dinner that same night.
