Recipe Note
1. I used a pound of extra large shrimp, which come 26-30 a pound. You can substitute another size shrimp, but you’ll need to adjust your cooking time.
2. The shrimp need to be completely thawed as well as peeled and deveined for this recipe. Please plan accordingly.
3. You can quickly thaw frozen shrimp by rinsing them in a colander under cold running water for 2-3 minutes. Pay dry really well and they are ready to use.
4. You can substitute black pepper if you don’t want these to be very spicy. Or you can add up to ¼ teaspoon cayenne if you want a lot of heat.
