Great served over creamy grits
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband likes spicy food and really enjoyed this shrimp, which I served over grits. I cut down on the cumin and added a... couple TBLs of cream as other reviewers suggested and it still had plenty of kick. Next time, I'll also halve the hot pepper sauce -- I tasted too much tobasco -- and use a little more heavy cream in its place. Read more

Great Mix of Spice and Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The hot sauce adds a nice kick. But the butter, garlic, shallots, and other spices, add a slight creaminess that rounds out... the flavor. A crowd pleaser.Read more

tasty shrimp!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love shrimp too - and am always looking for new ways to dress them up. I can't wait to make this as an appetizer for a... girls' night I have coming up. They are delicious! Next time I will omit some of the cumin: a bit too much for me too, but that's the only change I would recommend! Read more

Pretty Good Shrimp
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I am a shrimp lover and was slightly disappointed. I wish I had read the reviews first. Will make again using some of the... suggestions. It was a little too spicy and seemed to be missing something. I even cut down on the hot pepper sauce and red pepper flakes.Read more
