My husband bought shrimp yesterday and I came across this recipe today. I had all the ingredients and voila, it was done. Not only is this the best shrimp dish I've had, but it was quick and easy. Like the others, if you like spicy foods than this is the winner. So good, we just finished eating and I had to write a review. The best!

I guess I am in the minority... i love pepper but this was way too much. I could have used half the pepper and still had the same results I think. Sorry.

Peeled my shrimps, as my husband gets grossed out if I don't... and they were still super good!

I loved these shrimp! If you like hot and spicy, then these little babies are for you! I will definately be making these again. The combination of spices were great. Truly enjoyed! Made these for Zaar Stars Tag Game.
