One Pot Meal: Shrimp Boil

I love the what you would call “dump” meals. This is where you can take all the ingredients, dump it into a pot or pan and let it cook. This is a classic “dump” meal and is so effortless, it is crazy. This was such a fun meal to eat. We scooped out all the contents onto a small platter, placed some parchment paper underneath and went to town. Not only that but the flavor were amazing. By cooking the ingredients in a herb filled broth, they absorbed all the flavors with almost no fat.I will be doing this again very soon.

All the veggies cut up:
