  1. This has been a family favorite for years. We always make it with shrimp and it is a crowd pleaser. It is quick to make...don't be intimidated by the spices...the best part is having your whole meal in one dish. Savory, yummy and easy!
     
  2. My sister made this for my mom, who is vegetarian. It was an instant hit. Even my very picky 16 year old grandson was raVing about it!!
