  1. Making these today! I think I'll throw them on top of some polenta I have going in my rice cooker. Thanks for the delectable idea!

    1. Kerri, Hmmmmm…well, you could add the spices and olive oil, toss in shrimp and thaw quickly while cooking a few minutes.

  2. I use pre-cooked shrimp in all of the dishes that I prepare. I adapt the recipe to only cook it long enough to thaw and heat it through.
