Recipe Notes
I just love how quick and easy this shrimp recipe is, especially in the summer months when you don’t want to crank up the oven. This is great as an appetizer or make it a meal with a great salad, or over some quinoa or brown rice. I love to serve it as an app with my peach habanero bbq sauce instead of the usual boring cocktail sauce that is generally full of sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Anyway you serve it, it’s always a hit!
