I used Chipotle Garlic Butter in place of the butter called for in this recipe. Adding the Worcestershire and lemon juice. Thanks for the Spicy Goodness.

Loved the sauce, had alot leftover so used it the next night to dip a boiled artichoke in, yummmmy!!!!! Would have been perfect but I may have boiled the shrimp a bit too long, a little tough to peel but very very tasty!!!

The spicy sauce was good. I would suggest using jumbo shrimp for all that butter (which I think is in the picture). I only used medium and had a lot of sauce left over.
