Shrimp and Black Eyed Peas

I had shrimp ready for after football and cheer practice tonight. There is a big advantage to planning shrimp for dinner- it does not take long to cook. I can put the shrimp over heat once the car pulls in the driveway and by the time uniforms are unloaded and clothes changed, dinner is ready.

I thought Garlic Shrimp and Chickpeas sounded interesting. One little problem, I did not have chickpeas. I substituted Black-Eyed Peas and the recipe came out great. I thought the spices were perfect for the shrimp. The rest of my family still used cocktail sauce. Old habits are hard to break.
