My husband and I love shrimp so I thought I would give this dish a try. It was good. Not too spicy for us and we were able to use our garden fresh green peppers. I ended up adding a touch of sugar to the sauce after tasting it.

This was amazing. I used 1 1/2 lbs. frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined (21-25 per lb.) and removed the tails before cooking. I used onion powder instead of salt and also sprinkled some oregano. Wow!
