Bang Bangin' Shrimp
Happy 4th of July everyone! To celebrate with a bang, let's enjoy some amazing shrimp. This shrimp is a cheaper version and much tastier version than the Cheesecake Factory version. It's very satisfying and comes together in under 30 minutes. Great for a weeknight and/or weekend.
