Absolutelty outstanding! The kids want to kiss the cook cuz its so addicting even tho it is quite spicy hot but you can't stop eating it!MMMMMMMMMMMM If you don't soak up all the sauce with bread, it can be added to a chicken stock soup with the addition of only fine egg noodles maybe a little broccoli, Guaranteed great gourmet taste. Keep em coming CHILL!

YUMMO! I used to work in a restaurant 20 years ago that made NO BBQ shrimp. Over the years, I have tried to recreate the recipe, but never really came close. THIS IS IT! The only thing I changed is I reduced the butter to only 2 tablespoons for the whole dish - but what makes this dish was the spicy seasoning mix. I will make this often. THANK YOU!!!!
