I am your Host Tara Smith- Jarrett

My daughter has always been my inspiration behind me learning to cook several dishes; She is a lover of shrimp, and I wanted to open up her palate a bit, so I decided to jazz up her meals to excite her. This dish was a definite hit and is one of her favorites.

Go ahead and try it. I’m sure you’ll love it.
