Easy Spicy Shrimp

Submitted by Nancy G.

"This shrimp recipe is wonderful -- and that is saying something coming from me because I am not a big fan of spicy. It is NOT that spicy, in fact DH did not even come close to breaking a sweat which is how he gauges how spicy something is. You can always cut down on the amount of red pepper flakes if you want."

I tried this to see if it was good for a competition and this honestly was such an amazing dish . the flavour though was not very noticeable and I had to add a tiny bit more spice as I could not taste this .

My daughter and I had this the other night and while I thought it was ok, and with some tweaking would be very good, she didn't care for it at all. Simi is spice challenged and doesn't like anything hot so I left the pepper flakes out and just put them in mine but I had to agree with her that it didn't have much flavor. (1)
