A total upgrade in my opinion if you will.
Valentine's Crocodile Be Mine |
As a general rule, shrimp is not part of a college student's routine grocery budget, but , during special times of the year you may just want to have a recipe like this one on hand. If it is easy...even better! If it is cheap...well, I can't guarantee that! Sometimes you can find luxury items discounted, and that is the time to take advantage of savoring recipes like this one.
Speaking of Valetine's Day...make sure you have some cool cards for your friends, family and "special someone"! These are designs from previous years available thru the link below if you'd prefer something cool!
