Margarita Shrimp and Peppers

Like writing, in which I spend my days making thing up, the fun of cooking for me is making up recipes. It’s especially easy to do in the summer, when the ingredients are fresh and plentiful and I simply wander to the fridge, look inside, and pull together the makings of a meal. This is my latest favorite, it’s absolutely scrumptious! And healthy, yay!

This recipe can easily be scaled up and down depending on how many servings you need.
