Shrimp Festival

My brother is graduating high school this weekend so I’m at my parents house helping my mom get ready for the big part on Saturday!

My mom knows how much I like shrimp–it has been one of my favorite foods for as long as I can remember. My mom has also been making this meal for as long as I can remember (maybe that’s why I like shrimp so much..). The mouth watering aroma of this shrimp is incredible–it is definitely a meal to make if you are expecting company!
