this recipe is pretty good! the shrimp are delicious! I'd recommend a bit more seasoning for the green beans, though... maybe a bit of butter and a dash of red pepper flakes for some spice? I had mine with some cous cous... deelish!

I made this for dinner last night, and it was great! My toddler loved it, too. Lots of flavor with only a few ingredients. Perfect for a busy weeknight :) The only change I made was to add a little olive oil to the pan before cooking the green beans. YUM!
