  • This is my new, favorite shrimp dish. As you know, I make shrimp often because they are easy to cook with and often make a quick meal. I can have a great lunch or dinner in a matter of minutes. I often tweak my recipes to suite my taste at the moment, but this is a recipe I’ll never tweak. It’s absolutely delicious! I was sorry I cut the recipe down since I was the only one eating it tonight. I really wanted more. You have the sweet, citrus from the orange and the spicy from the chile paste and it just gives it life to shrimp
