Notes

  1. I like large shrimp in this dish, but you can use the size that you like, but it may change the cooking time. 
  2. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
  3. I would not recommend freezing this recipe.
  4. To reheat pop in the microwave and heat to the desired temperature.
