Saute of Shrimp and Vegetables
(from jerseyjenny’s recipe box)
Nothing is fresher than tender spring vegetables. Treat them simply and with bright flavors as in this sauté of leeks, carrots, peas and shrimp. Use 12 ounces of fresh peas in their pods to get about 1 cup fresh peas. Serve over couscous or rice.
TIP *If using frozen peas, add with shrimp.
