Hi everyone!

Tomorrow we are having Basil Shrimp for dinner. This is another shrimp recipe that you do on the grill. I think these look really good. It almost makes me want to try one...almost. On the side we'll be having Asian-Style Sugar Snap Peas and rice.

Asian Style Sugar Snap Peas - I liked having a different veggie to serve with dinner. The kids thought these were ok which is good in my book. I'm not sure I'll make these again but they were good.

Basil Shrimp - I sauteed these instead of grilling. I didn't have time to marinate so when I sauteed them I just dumped it all in the pan. They seemed to turn out great. I think grilling them would be really good though. They look pretty!
