My husband and I have just started cutting back on the comfort food carbs and this recipe was just the right thing to start out with! It was such a refreshing tasty meal. I am usually not a fan of spicy food, but I added the crushed red pepper anyway, and it turned out delicious. The spice wasn't over baring at all and both of us decided that if I hadn't it would have been too bland. I also used already cooked shrimp from the seafood counter, to cut down on cooking time. Thanks for sharing!
