Notes
You can be creative with the herbs. Use whatever you have: rosemary, basil, chives, etc. Combine at least 2 to 3 herbs for amazing flavors and aromas. I buy all my shrimp from Target, the brand is Market Pantry in the frozen food aisle. You can get it for as low as $6.95 per pack (during sales).Nutrition
