Whoot whoot, It’s October so let’s Make it Shrimptacular!!!!!!
Living in Tampa we have access to fresh seafood all year long, but I am well aware if you live in an area not by the sea, you may have a tough time getting fresh seafood. I developed this recipe especially for you guys.
Use frozen shrimp.
Specifically SeaPak Shrimp Scampi. Walmart has always had it in stock when I have needed it! You can locate it where you live here.

Like I said before I live in Tampa where Cuban food such as yellow rice and black beans are everywhere you turn.
I wanted to created a semi Paella recipe but not with all the other seafood usually used in Paella such as lobster, muscles and clams. I wanted to keep it simple and quick.
Simple and quick is sometimes my middle name. With baseball, homework, after school activities, my kids social lives and everything else, I need quick and that’s why I love using SeaPak.
