INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons Kraft Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing (making your own balsamic dressing using balsamic vinegar, olive oil and Dijon mustard works, too)

Cook 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, stirring frequently. Remove shrimp from skillet, using slotted spoon; cover to keep warm. Set aside.
