  1. Wow, this looks great. I love shrimp and I happen to have a bag of shallots from the farmer's market. It's also the kind of dish, that even though the ingredients are "mixed up," my kids will eat it. (I think the visual appeal has a lot to do with that)

  2. Jennifer - It was a nice and refreshing dish, but was still substantial enough with the rice to be quite filling!
