Yum! My husband loves shrimp and this recipe delivers on flavor. We cut back (1/2) on the cayenne and used 3 large cloves of fresh crushed garlic and still thought it had just enough spice, but not overpowering.

I thought I liked spicy things but WOW. I doubled the recipe but should not have doubled the cayenne. Otherwise it would've been excellent. I might've gone heavier on garlic too, in place of the hot spices. Will try it again!

My husband and I love spicy things and thought this was just right. I doubled the sauce as suggested by others but substituted 1/2 c. pinot grigio and 1/2 c. chicken broth for the beer. I also dusted the shrimp with flour to help thicken the sauce. The sauce was so good we ate an ungodly amount of french bread that night!

Made this just as instructed except used frozen clean devained shrimp as it was what I had on hand. My family loves it! The recipe is fast and very easy. Should have doubled the sauce and rice as everyone raved...two familiy memebers went home and made it the next day.
