Who loves shrimp, raise your hand? (I’m raising my hand.) Summer’s on its way (it is believe me), which means barbecues, company, good times…
This recipe is so easy, and it’s one of those things that’s not dependent on precise quantities and measurements, or even ingredients. This time I decided on Brandied Pineapple Shrimp. The pineapple adds a little bit of sweetness while the brandy adds a little flare. Since I already had some white rice pre-ccoked in the fridge I was able to get this meal fully prepared, cooked and served in about 12 minutes…..Usain Bolt in other words.
