A LITTLE SURPRISEShrimp Alla Speciale is a dish I created while trying to utilize all the extra vegetables in my refrigerator. It a simple dish that can be served as a full dinner or as an appetizer. Shrimp if definitely one of my favorite foods due to its taste and versatility. No matter if you fry them, bake them, broil them, grill them or sauté them they always turn out flavorful.
