Spicy Shrimp Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n

How should I serve this shrimp?<\/h3> To make this spicy shrimp a great party appetizer, use peeled shrimp instead. To make it a full meal, try pairing it with some Spanish or jasmine rice, your favorite vegetable, and some crusty bread<\/a>.


<\/h3>

How can I adjust this spicy shrimp recipe?<\/h3> Make this recipe your own by adjusting the heat or saltiness. Add your favorite chopped vegetables like a green pepper to the saute, or use peeled and de-veined shrimp to help with messy fingers.


<\/h3>

What other flavors go with shrimp?<\/h3> Shrimp is a versatile protein that enhances and blends with other flavors, sauces and seasonings easily. For a Mediterranean feel, try Greek Shrimp with Orzo<\/a>, or give classic Shrimp Pad Thai<\/a> a whirl. Or, serve it up with farfalle and a creamy sauce for Shrimp Pasta Alfredo<\/a>.

I have been making this recipe over 25 years since I found it in Jeff Smith's cookbook...it is one of my most requested recipes...I usually just serve it with a salad and baked potato so the fabulous spices of the shrimp sauce can be sopped up with crispy french bread...This is not a lo-cal meal...but definitely worth splurging on once in a while....or serve as an appetizer so everyone can enjoy a great start to an amazing entree you've prepared!!!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"01\/02\/2010 08:02","GUID":"992542F4B7164A2FB18142D33D1661BA","MemberId":1670700,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"edellenkw123","SubmittedDate":"01\/02\/2010 08:02"},{"Comment":"

The first time I made this recipe I followed the directions explicitly and the result was so delicious I knew I would make it again.<\/p>

The second time, my husband suggested we shell and devein the uncooked shrimp before putting them in the baking pan. We also added chopped green and red bell peppers that we grew in our garden. It worked beautifully and was probably even tastier. We served the shrimp with saffron rice, accompanied with lots of French bread to sop up the wonderful sauce. Thank you, Mr. Gebhardt for sharing your unique recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"01\/05\/2008 08:49","GUID":"f0d2b517a60f4b149b46ce91b1c2a442","MemberId":1671534,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"FriedaG","SubmittedDate":"01\/05\/2008 08:47"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"12\/26\/2007 12:42","GUID":"97e59ea7c00a40abba74c0a5b5ae3077","MemberId":2576358,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kimhryc","SubmittedDate":"12\/26\/2007 12:42"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2006 15:15","GUID":"54dceb4cedf64cdfa065097e358b75a0","MemberId":1692906,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"renee","SubmittedDate":"12\/17\/2006 15:15"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"12\/02\/2006 11:00","GUID":"04cd72eac8f54d50bc409e3b7a151611","MemberId":1660450,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"fuchsiaholic","SubmittedDate":"12\/02\/2006 11:00"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"07\/29\/2006 06:15","GUID":"e1999e3ad6b3436aa84ab185c4043b60","MemberId":1084252,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"David","SubmittedDate":"07\/29\/2006 06:15"}]},"breadcrumb":[],"meta_data":{"enhanced_fields":{"enhanced_recipe_title":"Spicy Shrimp"}},"analytics":[],"yoast_head":"\nSpicy Shrimp Recipe: How to Make It<\/title>\n\n\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spicy-shrimp\/\" \/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\t\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Spicy Shrimp Recipe: How to Make It","description":"Not too hot but full of flavor, these shrimp are one of a kind.
