This Shrimp, Bell Pepper and Onions Skillet is a delicious low-carb and gluten-free meal that’s super quick and easy to make and it’s loaded with flavour. It’s ready in 15 minutes and it’s great as leftover too.
These past few days have been very crazy for me. On one side I’m very excited with our trip to Europe next week. My husband has to go to England for work and we decided to take advantage of this opportunity and visit a new country on this beautiful continent. We’re going to spend one week and a half in England and another one week and a half in Portugal. Wow three weeks in Europe! It’s so cool!
And on the other hand, I haven’t been feeling very well these past few days because I have an annoying inflammation of my right eye. It’s nothing very serious and I’m already being medicated, but it hurts a bit. I’m feeling much better and I believe by the end of the week I’ll be 100% good! Hopefully!
