ReplyDeleteAw, bless him! When I was about 7, I loved shrimp, too. We only got them as a special treat when my grandparents came to visit, but I remember my grandfather steaming shrimp with Old Bay seasoning. I loved it, and this looks pretty fantastic, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteHI Courtney- I made your sausage sandwiches last Sunday. What a great meal to have waiting in the crockpot after church. This shrimp dish just as tasty!
ReplyDeleteHeh if I ate sea food, this would totally look awesome. I guess guess I could sub the shrimp with chicken tho :P
