Notes
This is one of my truly favorite rice recipes. I got this recipe, believe it or not, from my Dad. Well actually, I think my Mom used to prepare it for him, but the idea was his. He loves rice and he will eat it any way he can get it. He is also Italian and has a passion for anything with spaghetti sauce on it. Can you tell where I am going with this shrimp and rice recipe?
