I really liked this dish. Ron said he liked it, but he didn’t react really positively. I will definitely make it again and see if he really likes it. : )

Notes
Ron and I are pescatarians. That is a mainly vegetarian diet with seafood added. This recipe would be great even without the shrimp. You could also add a vegan protein substitute.
