Spicy Shrimp

Melt the butter, seasonings and Frank’s Red Hot sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Turn the heat up to medium and add the shrimp. Depending on the size of your shrimp, you may cook them anywhere from 4-10 minutes. When the shrimp is curled and uniformly opaque, it should be done. Test one!

This recipe is for meal-sized servings. You can easily cut the number of shrimp down and the sauce ingredients to make an appetizer-sized version. Or use less shrimp and keep the rest of the recipe the same for lots of sauce. I don’t like things as salty (there is a salt in Frank’s Red Hot sauce), but if you really like salt, feel free to use regular Cajun seasoning and salted butter. I sometimes add a little bit of Old Bay Seasoning if I only have unsalted butter and I am using salt-free Cajun seasoning. Better to start off on the lower salt side and add to it if you need to.

We often serve this with garlic bread or a plain baguette to help sop up the sauce. It’s also popular here served with wild rice.
