Lemongrass Shrimp
When making this recipe, be aware of the size of the shrimp that you are going to use. I used smaller shrimp that are 31/40 ct. These only take 4 minutes to cook. If you want to use larger ones like 16/20 ct, they will take twice as long to cook. Serve these shrimps with garlic noodles.
