Private Notes

This was very tasty. Adding a spritz of Meyer lemon juice really amped the flavor.
Made with 1 lb shrimp, for two. Used seasonings slightly reduced. Added spinach after garlic, added juice of half a lemon. Served over less than half pound fresh linguini. Excellent, a repeat. Next time will use full amount of seasonings.
Quick, easy and flavorful, a great go-to recipe for shrimp. Due to the smokiness of the cumin and paprika, pair it with a salad or slaw with a bright citrus note for a nice balance.
Can you serve this as a cold appetizer?
We enjoyed this recipe. First of all it was quick to compile and cook. Best of all the spice combination was excellent. I would make this again and again!
Easy and excellent flavor.
