These Gingered Orange Shrimp would make a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner. My husband and I had it Saturday night when we had no kids at home and loved it! The shrimp had almost Asian taste and reminded me a bit of coconut shrimp even though there is not any coconut in it. I served it with steamed artichokes and tri-colored couscous, which was a great combination.
The recipe comes from me looking at about ten different shrimp recipes and pulling out the ingredients I liked. It is slightly sweet, but not too sweet with just a touch of heat. If you don’t want it hot at all, you could leave out the red pepper flakes. I say it serves two, but you might be able to squeeze a third serving out of it, but we ate it all.
