Hi guys! Alex here. Makayla has been trying to get me to try seafood for years now…. and I finally tried some over our Florida vacation. I ended up liking shrimp, scallops and I even tried her grouper tacos which were pretty good. One of her favorites are shrimp – she’ll eat it in salads, over pasta, with her hibachi, basically anything. So when she requested this dish, I was pretty excited since this was my first time making shrimp at home. We were happy with the outcome and hope you guys enjoy it, too!
