Summer is coming, meaning that lighter meals will be more popular. It is getting already humid over here in the music city, and “I do not like”.

I like Spring, and Fall time and humidity is something that I cannot handle, period.

Now, if I had a nice beach next to my house instead of community pool that is so crowded over summer my story would be more positive.

I am a swimmer, have been my whole life, literally so having that pool is like nothing to me if I can’t relax, swim or play with my kids.

In other words, I have been trying to eat less meat and include more fresh veggies on our weekly menu. It is working wonderfully. We are all more energetic.

Anyhow, we love shrimps. I do not make them too often. Hwever, a couple of times a month with our pasta, zoodles (zucchini noodles), in sandwiches or taking a healthier road and making them like this.

I just love easy, healthy and fuzz-free meal? You can make them for parties, appetizer or as a salad topper. I mean possibilities are endless!

I hope you like this recipe, and if you make it, please tag me #sandraseasycooking so I can check out your delicious creations!
