Verdict:

We are venturing pretty far out here with the shrimp. I personally hate it, and think it's a waste of the 10 dollars you pay for the bag of nasty little things!! Scott enjoyed the shrimp though. Once again I'm not a fan of the big chunks of green peppers. Cooking the shrimp was also something new! Little did I know you are supposed to let them thaw over night.. oops! The recipe also called for white wine, but seeing as how that would be a big waste of money I just went with white grape juice (I read somewhere that it's a good substitute). I don't think I liked this meal enough to ever want to cook it again. It's one of those that if someone served it to you, you wouldn't have to gag it down, but you wouldn't be asking for the recipe either.
