i used canned petite diced tomatoes because i already had those on hand, left out the cinnamon, and used cavender's greek seasoning rather than salt on the shrimp. i also juiced 1/2 a lemon over top before baking. served with couscous and foccacia bread. we really enjoyed it, very yummy! i -
We enjoyed this meal! I used a can of crushed San Marzano tomatoes and added a bit of dried oregano with the spices. I served the shrimp mixture on a bed of orzo. Thanks for sharing! Made for Spring PAC 2010. -
