Delicious and simple! I used Splenda instead of sugar, and I marinated my shrimp for a while in the dressing before serving. The only change I would make next time (and this is not the fault of the recipe) is to use raw shrimp and cook them right before I marinate them. This was my first experience with shrimp that were pre-cooked and frozen, and they weren't too great. The recipe was lovely, though! Thanks for posting.

I enjoy healthy foods because they make me feel light, happy and energized. The types of things I often make are omelettes, shakes, wraps, and salads. However, I also enjoy good ol cheeseburgers, pizza and tacos on occasion. I am a beginner cook as my fiance is the cook in our household, however, I am trying to cook more and convert him to my healthier ways. Wish me luck!
