Since we are already sharing the Love of sea food, I thought it would be great to sign off with a simple yet tasty shrimp dish. It’s a twist on shrimp melody (recipe coming soon) and goes well with red wine/ beer if you are entertaining. It’s one of those dishes where you do not have to follow a recipe. Put in things together and voilà !
