Notes
What’s better than a one-pot meal? One that looks like you’ve worked for hours to create. This is one of those meals! It has your protein, starch, and veggies all in one. Oh, and did I mention it’s delicious and a little fancy? We love our seafood but if your kiddos aren’t too fond of it, simply substitute chicken for the shrimp. It’s just as good. Serve with penne pasta for a deliciously complete and satisfying meal.
