Serving Suggestions
My husband likes to have some kind of meat with his meals and we add some grilled or sauteed shrimp to his dish. For me? I like to eat them as is!
They go perfect with a side of refried beans, Mexican rice, served as tacos or as a side dish for Bistec Ranchero.
Either way you choose to serve them, they will be a hit!

Grilled up a nice NY strip steak and had these on the side. Perfect! Wanted a change from the usual basic sauteed mushrooms. This may be my new go to with steaks!
