This recipe is excellent. I couldn't believe how fast dinner was on the table. It was quick and very easy to prepare. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and very flavorful. I used the red pepper flake option adding about 3/4 tsp of pepper. Served it on simple egg noodles, with butter, parmesan and peas. Thank you for sharing your recipe that we will enjoy again and again.

Excellent recipe. I have added some parsley to it also, while marinating the shrimp in the mixture. I also placed the shrimp on skewers (going through the head and the tail, and grilling them. After I took them off the grill I had a small amount of melted butter I drizzled them with...Just a little for the flavor!

I'm a mother of two, my son has food allergies so I find myself making things from scratch for his saftey. I could really use some cake baking lessons, mine tend to look like submissions for cake wrecks.
I love collecting recipes and reading cooking blogs.
