Looks light and healthy; great as a summertime dish.
Yes it's exactly that. Thanks Maria. When cooked, they also contain 0.3g of fat so are a low fat food too!
That looks a really nice recipe. I don't like seafood so I would take out the shrimps and replace them with either salmon or chicken pieces.
Perfect for those long, warm summer evenings we don't get here in the UK.
Variations on recipes always give us another new recipe with different ingredients. Replacing ingredients, always makes for an exciting alternative.
I like the sound of replacing the shrimps with salmon.
