I must try this recipe as it looks delicious.
What a fabulous and very flavourful recipe. I warn you though once you taste the shrimp for doneness put the fork or spoon down as you’ll want to go back for more. Next time I may buy 2lbs shrimp it’s that good.
So good & quick especially cooking the squash in the microwave
