Succulent shrimp in honey and soya sauce along with colorful peppers…
I like to make my dishes colorful, one of the ways is by adding peppers of different colors. Peppers impart so much color and flavor to whatever dish you are making. The other day, I stir fried the shrimp in soy sauce and honey, to that added the stir fried peppers. It was one easy dish to make and tasted so delicious.
