This is the best shrimp recipe I've found in a long time. I cut down on the spiciness for our family but any way you make it you will love. The sauce is great for dipping crusty french bread too. Very quick and easy to make with very little cleanup.
Great Shrimp Recipe

Loved this dish - I split the backs of the shrimp from the top to the tail so more sauce could permeate the shrimp. I thought 20 minutes was a tad long, and knew that the shrimp were done in 14-15 minutes. Pat from Tennessee
WOW, excellent flavor

I used 2 lbs of shrimp and halved the rest of the ingredients because it was just for myself and my husband. This dish is soooooooooo simple and full of flavor. Will definately be making it again, especially this summer when I am entertaining. Thank you Paula!!!!!!!

I was really excited about this recipe based on the reviews and thought it would be similar to a favorite recipe of ours at a local restaurant. However, while it definatley has potential...here's what I think I'd do differently. I used jumbo (13-15ct) peeled shrimp cuz some of the reviews said it worked fine...I would use unpeeled shrimp next time and not do the jumbo. The sauce was really lemony also...I like lemon just fine...but I was looking for more cajun/spice to come through. I might use less than half the lemon, very little lemon juice in the sauce, more worcestershire, add some white wine and kick up the spices. I will try again with hopes of reaching that deep, dark and spicy sauce I was looking for.
Family pleaser

After making this recipe I became a serious beliver in... a) Paula Dean b) The food network recipe rating system c) The easy-to-hard scale rating system I consider this one of the best recipes I've ever made, and I couldn't belive how easy it was. I made it for my parents and now my mom wants to make it for every upcoming get together. So easy!!!!! They only suggestion I would make is consider shelling the shrimp. I haven't tried it this way but will do so the next time I make it. So good!!

Me and my, now, husband spent our first Christmas together in 2005. I cooked this shrimp recipe. It was a hard time for us: I was in between jobs and my husband was working at a butter factory long hours to pay the bills. I was nervous making this recipe due to the amount of butter and his disdain for butter at the time. Never the less, he loved it and I am making it a tradition on Christmas Eve to make it for him and remember where we have come from. I can't cook worth a cent but with this recipe I was able to give my husband hope. Thank you.
The best ever....

This recipe is fantastic. Easy to make but mucho wow factor. It's spicy but not gratuitously (sp?). Up here in the north you can't always get good shrimp so the last couple times I used peeled/deveined and served it over rice. The family went nuts. It's easy to resize the recipe but the leftovers are even better after a day or two. Make this recipe.

This is such a good recipe, even though I mistakenly used 6 times the amount of hot sauce and 3 times the worst. sauce for 1 pound of shrimp, it was great. Really, really hot, but great!

Great quick and easy recipe. Hold the lemon in the sauce...there is enough in the slices added to the shrimp. Also, I have to believe most want more pizazz than is here. Add a tablespoon of cayenne (a teaspoon for you non-hots folks, cuz it needs the flavor). Finally, if there was a way to thicken the sauce a smidge after baking and before going in the dipping bowls, then you have 5 Stars!!!

I made this shrimp recipe today and LOVED it!!! It was so easy and using the garlic, hot sauce, and worcestershire sauce really added a great flavor to the shrimp. I normally just cook shrimp with butter and this really spiced it up! Also, with my french bread, I cut some slices, coated them on one side with the extra butter sauce and put them in the oven on the rack for about 5 min. This turned out very good too!

Tried this for the first time tonight after reading all the reviews. I have done a similar recipe with shrimp in the shell - but with olive oil and grilled. This was even better - more moist and easier to cook (without fear of overcooking or drying it out). I had to scale the recipe down to 2 portions, which was the hard part. So I used roughly 3/4 stick unsalted butter, added about 1/3 cup white wine, scant lb shrimp, 1 generous TBL of both Worcestershire and lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp pepper, about 2 tsp hot sauce, (sorry to admit this - generous amount of chopped garlic from the jar) garlic salt and threw in both a few slices of lemon plus some zest. My husband, who will eat shrimp but never asks for it mopped up the whole plate. I think I went even a little more on the hot sauce because I know he likes it. If you like shrimp (and I could eat it everyday) TRY IT. Way to go, Paula!!!
AWESOME

20 or more years ago a fine restaurant had a menu item: SHRIMP AFRICAN STYLE.. Restaurant been closed for years... My wife caught Paula Deen doing the Fiery Cajun on Food Network and recognized Paula's dish as being similar or same... I say same and would give it 10 stars, if I could...

Shell-on shrimp in sauces may be "messy" but I don't mind because it's delicious! This recipe is ready for the oven in 5 minutes and ready to eat shortly after. Don't forget the bread for mopping up every bit of the savory sauce! This is a grand slam, Paula!

This was a fabulous recipe. A friend of ours is originally from Louisiana and she has made a recipe similar to this for get-togethers. However, she will never share any of her "secret" recipes. When I saw Paula make this on her show, I told my husband I was going to buy all the ingredients and make it at home. I could've dipped bread for hours in the spicy sauce! Thanks!

Shrimp so pink, plump and perfect, you'll be surprised by the soon to follow kick. This easy to prepare dish needs only a big bowl of steamed rice or loaf of crunchy French bread to soak up its buttery hot sauce. I've even made it low-carb style over chopped broccoli and it still delited the palate--I used peeled shrimp life is too short--
Thanks, Paula!

Wow, what can I say? I am not one for spicy things, but for some reason I decided to try it. The only thing I would suggest to those who haven't tried it...I used unsalted butter (the recipe didn't specify..that is what I had)...the other ingredients make it salty enough that you really don't need the salted butter. Other than that...all I can say is :::in Paula's Southern accent::: "It sure is good, y'all!!!"
My new favorite!

This recipe has taken the crown from an old Frugal Gourmet recipe I have always loved (Cajun Barbecued Shrimp), but which is considerably more complex and time-consuming. Frankly, this has every bit of bang for the buck and is incredibly simple! The Worcestershire sauce is a savory and delicious ingredient on top of the richness of the butter and the spiciness of the hot sauce. This is just fantastic (and the best part is sucking on the shrimp before peeling them!)!
Delicious!

This recipe is so easy and quick. Actually, I was a little short on butter so I made up the difference in olive oil. Other than that, I followed the recipe to a "T" and loved it. But if you like a little milder or even hotter, you can play with those ingredients. We had French bread and a salad and called it a meal. This shrimp dish will stand up to anything you can get in a coastal restaurant. A real time saver for me is that my grocer carries fresh shrimp deveined but still in the shell. It's worth the extra you may pay to get them already deveined.

This is honestly the best shrimp recipe I've ever tasted, let alone prepared myself. I just finished off the leftovers from last night and I'm on some sort of fiery cajun shrimp-enduced high. What a nice combination of flavors! The butter and the lemon complimented the fieriness just right. I just wish there were a bit more sauce left for dipping! I've still got nearly a half loaf of bread. : ( Paula, your recipe rocks and rolls!!!
