Pro tips:

  • This recipe is pictured with Jalapeño Brown Rice and sautéed red peppers.
  • It's very easy to over-cook shrimp, and if you do, they'll become chewy. Simply cook them until they turn pink, then remove from heat quickly. They'll continue to cook even after you remove them from heat, so you don't have to worry about them being under-cooked.
