The kids LOVE shrimp as much as I do! I normally don’t buy it just because it isn’t that cheap and we tend to eat it all in one sitting. Well, tonight was no exception! I came up with the Shrimp Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe not sure how it would turn out. My 3 testers all agreed it was AMAZING!!! In fact, I was planning on having leftovers for lunch tomorrow, but that will not be happening. All that is left is extra brown rice. Next time I will have to double it!
