This recipe was absolutely delicious! This is now one of my family favorites.
This looks GREAT and TASTY! I plan on making tomorrow night....off to the store for all the ingredients. ;-)
Happy Cooking!
I wanted to make this dish and had everything on hand except the shrimp. Since we weren't planning another trip to the grocery this week, I substituted chicken for the shrimp. I did everything else the way it was done with the shrimp. My husband LOVED IT!!
