Notes
I used Gorton's Grilled Shrimp because it is an quick item I like to keep in my freezer. The resealable package is the perfect size for a dinner for two and the Classic Grilled Flavor is delicious, reminding me of seasoned New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. Of course you can use regular shrimp or chicken and spice it up to your liking too!
