Shrimp In Fiery Hot Garlic Butter

Submitted by Bergy

"Simple recipe but not for the weak hearted. Surprisingly the amount of chile & garlic does not detract from the flavor of the shrimp. I recommend that you make your own bolillos to go with the shrimp to soak up the sauce. Serve with green salad & noodles. Garnish the shrimp with the green onions"

This is similar to the recipe I make. I decided to try this one with all that garlic and butter. We love garlic. The only thing I did different was add cooking sherry (or white wine) and left out the lime juice. Let the sherry reduce for a couple of minutes and then add the shrimp until they're cooked. I also use the whole green onion and use about 5 of them. The hot pepper I used wasn't as hot as the grocery store said it was and we like hot. I'll have to keep trying different ones. My family loved it. Even with 8 cloves of garlic. I was afraid of putting that much in but the recipe said so...........so I did it. Thanks for being daring. This shrimp was a huge hit.
