NOT-SO-PRO TIPS
I always keep a bag of frozen shrimp on hand so that I never have to worry about freshness! Don’t be intimidated by the peeling, either, once they’re thawed, it’s very easy to get the shell off.
Mission Brand Carb Balance Flour Tortillas are so nutritious and light and taste as good as any store-bought tortillas I’ve had!
Caesar dressing has always been one of my favorites but it can take a salad from healthy to not so much quickly. I like Newman’s Caesar vinaigrette, or, you can also use this Avocado Caesar Salad Dressing.
