Great shrimp! I cut the recipe back to 1 lb of shrimp and used a habanero pepper. These were simple to make and really yummy - thanks for sharing the recipe! -
Super super good. I cut the oil way down (and made it for two as well) bc i don't think that much oil is needed, but oh were they addictive!!!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I grew up in rural east Texas and Louisiana before being transplanted to the beautiful state of Kentucky at the age of 17....so for the most part, my 'hard drive' is programmed for rich, southern style food. Recipes for things like mashed potatoes, cream gravy, pot roast, chicken fried steak and chili are burned in to my DNA!! ?I will never deny my love for rich, southern foods and I'm not a fan of stripping away all the fat and flavor in order to lighten up my favorite southern staples, however (fortunately) my culinary horizons expand beyond my roots and I love finding new foods and new ways of cooking that are just as delicious and in many cases much healthier. ?I do receive an incredible amount of joy from feeding others....a trait I definately attribute to my southern roots.
