We just made this for lunch today and it was beyond good! I will be making it again for sure.
I made this for lunch today and the only thing I did differently is I cut the shrimp up a bit. I had it in a hoagie bun kind of like a po boy style sandwich. It was great. Thanks for an easy recipe. The dill tasted amazing in this.
