When I have time, I truly enjoy the additional flavor that fresh seasonings brings but feel free to make this a quick weeknight meal by using pre-cut seasonings. I served mine over warm rice and topped it off with fried fish! The recipe is below along with a short form video. Enjoy and comment and/or tag me (@bmycurlfriend), if you decide to make it!
