T'was my uncle's birthday, he was having a party and i was told to cook a dish that consisted of shrimps. I didn't know what to do so i just came up on my own recipe. Was lucky cuz my uncle brought over his two bestfriends which was two chef's and agreed on tasting my cooking and giving an honest critique along with it.

In the end they both loved it, went for more rounds and gave me an 10/10 for my dish.

I hope it pleases you. Haha.
