Chef Jeremy’s Five Spice Shrimp with Cabbage 2-Ways – Ep. 8
Jeremy mentioned a few variations on his 20-Feb-2024 Podcast but this recipe uses Shrimp as the protein. All still possible for under $25 for a family of 4. This recipe is made with one skillet and one bowl and something to mix the salad dressing. We purchased 6 large shrimp as pictured but 8 will be needed for a family of 4 (1.25 lbs of shrimp). This recipe was modified slightly based on what was available at the grocery store when made. Enjoy!

8 Medium Dried Apricots (or 1 Persimmon)
