Notes
- I recommend using medium shrimp in this. They are less expensive than large and jumbo and will give you more per bag so you'll get some shrimp in ever bite.
- Prefer things on the more seasoned or spicier side, feel free to adjust the seasonings used to whatever you enjoy. Cajun season would be really yummy in this.
- Make sure you stir the veggies frequently when you are cooking them so they cook evenly and don't burn.
