"When I was looking for a good shrimp recipe I turned to my friend Ann, who always talks about this shrimp dish she learned to make from a cook of hers named Vaida. Ann likes to entertain and this is one of her go-to dishes because it can be made ahead and left alone until it's time to eat. Now it is one of my simple go-tos, too. Thank you Ann, for sharing!..."
