5* for a 5* recipe! What an impressive dish to serve. I loved the fresh lemon, a must for shrimp as far as I'm concerned. I used the 16/20 wild shrimp, and they were big and beautiful. The simple ingredients were wonderful, especiall the kick of the red pepper flakes. A recipe all shrimp lovers will love. Made this for Jeffie's cook-a-thon, hoping that that he is better soon.Reply

Made this for Jeffie's cook-a-thon. We loved these shrimp! I had some pretty large ones and they were devine. I couldn't get them to "stand up" with their tails pointing up -- they sort of just laid on their side. So I broiled them for a couple minutes and then flipped them over. I hope you are feeling better, Jeff!!!Reply
