TomiSalami REVIEW:
September 16, 2011

I decided to make this tasty homemade sauce after becoming tired of the prepared jar sauces and being able to have fresh ingredients made it much better. A perfect dish for me since I love garlic and some "heat" with my shrimp. A simple and easy recipe and all cooked in one skillet pan. Very Good !! TomiSalami
