5 stars for sure!! This shrimp was awesome and I could have just kept eating and eating them. I did not measure the pepper, but I don't think I used the full amount, but I do believe the amount would work, even though it's pretty high :) Will be making again! -
Yes, spicy but not hot! Delicious! I made two servings and enjoyed every shrimp myself, with freshly made bread! Because I started out with less of all the sauce ingredients, I only simmered them about 8 minutes, then added my shrimp and cooked for 3-4 minutes. I saw on Cook's Country or America's Test Kitchen that simmering cracked black pepper takes out much of the heat. Tagged for Spring Photo Tag 2014, due 05/07.

<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>

<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
