Spicy Mango Shrimp

Guess what ... I'm going to BLOG again! I have been feeling really guilty because the kids love to go through and look at old pics on the blog. I have totally lost a year of our lives on here but I have decided to be better now. I'm going to start with a recipe because - well ... I love recipes. Here's what I made last night and it was a hit with the everyone. Super quick and easy too. I saw this on the cover of a magazine at the checkout the other day and I had to get out of line to read it and gather the ingredients so I could go home and make it. I doubled it to feed our family of 7 and had a little leftover for lunch.
