We visited with friends in Florida over Thanksgiving and, yes, because of COVID-19, they were in isolation before our visit and we were very careful driving down with gloves for pumping gas, sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer. We packed a car picnic so we didn’t have to go into restaurants. So we made the trip to the warmer clime and back without incident.
In addition to the traditional Thanksgiving fare, one night our hostess served the shrimp dish from the recipe below. It was delicious and of course, I asked for the recipe. It was the first dish her husband cooked for her when they were dating and she has made it often since then. She served the dish with Dilled Persian Rice using the recipe below.
