Shrimp Étouffée
4.5/5 stars. The sauce is beige not the color in the photo. And its much thicker than traditional etouffee. But, its still really tasty! And the shrimp are large and there was like 8 shrimp in there!

Turkey Meatballs with Puttanesca
I love this meal. It’s more than I can eat in one sitting but enjoy it for lunch the next day. Great flavor and so nice to have a substantial amount of veg with protein.
