That sounds super yummy! It will be making an appearance on my dinner table!

Thanks for Sharing this Nan!

That really sounds good.  I'm going to try it.

Silly question but...   how much is a serving for us in order to get the 25gram pro? I didnt see it listed.
Thanks,
Christine

The recipe states that it is 4 servings and there is a pound of shrimp involved, so 1/4 of the recipe .... of course if you turn it into 8 servings you will get 12.5 gr of protein or turn it into 6 servings you will get 18.75 gr. of protein.
