I fixed this for my family and they loved it. Its a recipe you can fix in no time. We have it at least once a month. I served it with red beans and rice and crab cakes.

This was SO simple and very tasty. I added a little extra lime and spices to kick it up a notch. I had some shrimp maggi so I just used that instead of crab boil, and it worked perfectly. Served it over jasmine rice...perfect! Will def make this again.

This is an easy recipe that is SO good. I used frozen uncooked, deveined shrimp. I've tried similar recipes to this and continue to come back to this one because it is flavorful in a way that no one flavor overpowers another - they work well together and it is not salty.
