WOW! Definitely a unique recipe for shrimp. Only thing I did different was cut the hot sauce in half (just to be safe the first time). It was actually perfect so I will do that again the next time I make it. I also had a tough time with not peeling the shrimp first but was amazed at how easy it was after baking. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks!! Made for PAC '08.
