Yup, just what the title says shrimp & veggies and doesn’t get much easier than this! I know during the week can get hectic with work, school, sports, clubs, life! But we still want to give our families (and ourselves!) a balanced and healthy meal, right? That is exactly where this dish was created from. I like to stock up on frozen shrimp and veggies to make weeknights a little bit easier and stress free. Yup, I said frozen! There is nothing wrong with frozen. Veggies are picked at their peak right before freezing them. Just check the ingredients that there is nothing else added like sauces or other non-descriptive ingredients.
