In honor of our 10th Birthday in June, Home Chef is celebrating a decade of deliciousness by giving home cooks the chance to try our Top 10 Greatest Hits of all time — like this meal! Lots of things are popular: sunshine, puppies, country-pop stars whose last name means “quick action.” But this meal is more popular than them all (well, maybe not puppies): succulent shrimp fried up nice and crispy, with a sweet mayo-ponzu sauce drizzled over. This meal (and by extension you) will be so popular, you'd think they're going out of style. You're on your way to being an influencer!
