Saturday we tried a great new recipe (Hoisin Shrimp & Broccoli) along with an old favorite (Aurora's Sriracha Shrimp) for a shrimp two ways dinner. We really enjoyed both! As you can see from the photo at right, I separated the broccoli from the shrimp because broccoli is one of the few vegetables T usually objects too - but he ate a bunch of it prepared this way. Victory!
