This week's recipe was submitted to us by 5 year old Nathan in Elk River, Minnnesota.
Nathan's Mom says,
"We have four boys and the older ones take turns giving the shrimp a bath in the colander!
This recipe can be easily adjusted for smaller or larger families. It also reheats nicely if there are any leftovers. Thanks for letting us share with you!"
