We Should All Be Willing To Try New Things, Don't Pass Them By!!!!
Everyone who follows my blog knows my passion for fresh cooked shrimp. What everyone doesn't know is my new gem, thanks to my daughter who got me hooked, baby bok choy. Not really sure why, in the past, I have not even bothered with it, it is delicious and cooks up very quickly.
