Garlic Lemon Shrimp with Savory Root Vegetable Rice Pilaf
"Note: Celery root is not always available but jicama is almost always in our local markets. Either will work and each brings a slightly different flavor profile to this dish. Celery root has a deep, strong celery taste and jicama tastes almost like a bland radish - both are delicious in this dish!..."
