Joey, I just bought shrimp this weekend for me. I am the only one in my family who likes it. This is a great recipe. I could make it and freeze it in smaller portions just for me.

That shrimp sounds yummy and I'm hungry right now. Beautiful photos. Helps to offset the cold outside.
Gorgeous pink poppies, and shrimp is my favorite seafood. This is a yummy post!
It's been a rough day and the beauty of your pinks were cheerful - thanks.
I like your pink shade poppy colour. We just end our poppy season here and I missed them already.
I just happened across your blogspot for the first time and I'm quite taken by the beauty of your photography, and the recipes are a bonus as well. I plan on visiting often. :)
keep the pink coming Joey~I need the lift, xxoogail ps thank you dear.
What a gorgeous colour for a grey day Joey - and another scrummy recipe to try out too! :)
These Poppies always capture me attention, grand shots.
Sumptuous! Beautiful photos Joey!
pink shrimp/pink poppies.......what a choice...I choose both!
I don't know about freezing this, Eileen. I'd simply make a 1/2 lb and adjust accordingly. It's very tasty nibbled cold or reheated the next day.
Thanks Lindalou. Spicy is good on a cold day like today!
Very easy too, Deb. Thank you and enjoy :)
Hugs WG and thank you.
Welcome Malay-Kadazan and thank you. Poppies are always a favorite here too.
Thank you for visiting and the kind words, dibear. I will look forward to your return visit.
Since 'Honeysuckle' pink is the color of the year, I just might keep it going all January, Gail! Rolling through the photo archives, I have tons to support it!
Thanks Liz ... let me know if you like it!
Thank imac ... I adore poppies, one of my favorite flowers and fun to photograph.
Thank you, Carol :)
Good choices, dear Linda :)
Such lovely images, Joey. And thanks for posting this easy-to-make recipe. I like the quote too!
I LOVE the collage you've creaeted Joey!
I had no idea there was a color of the year, but pink is one of my favorites, so I guess I'm in style now:) What a lovely shade of pink your poppies are!
Such a delicious color!
Love that poppy...and I'll admit it...I LOVE pink in the garden!
Beautiful pink poppies Joey! I could almost believe, for a second, that's it spring!
I like the flower on the top. It looks like it is from a dream sequence.
Thank you, dear Kanak. You are always so kind :)
My head is filled with fluff and useless information, dear Rose! But thank you ... I do love/adore my poppies and delighted to show them off!
Agree, Meredehuit. And up close and personal, these papery petals take my breath away! I'm in awe when they bloom.
Me too, Scott. A little here, a little there throughout each perennial growing season, pink in the garden for me is a must! Most of my favorite perennials sport this fine color.
Thank you, dear Clare. Yes, we can dream!
I like that, flutietootie!
Thank you for the recipe, and for the beautiful pink poppies.
Love the color pink! Poppies are so paperlike!
