Karen's Spicy Peel-And-Eat Shrimp

Submitted by Epi Curious

"These are not for the faint of heart because the sauce is spicy...but if you can stand up to the challenge, these are the BEST peel & eat shrimp ever. Note that the sauce can be frozen. Serve extra sauce in a pitcher for dipping. And don't forget lots of warm, crusty bread to soak up the sauce."
