Shrimp in Lemon Garlic Chili Sauce

Submitted by St. Louie Suzie

"This is THE BEST shrimp recipe, I swear. This is "finger food" -- you'll peel and eat the shrimp at the table, so provide one or more bowls to discard the shells and have plenty of napkins on hand. You'll want to serve this with lots of crusty bread to sop up the absolutely amazing sauce. ENJOY! Note: prep time does not include time to marinate shrimp."

This is a yummy dish, and something different to do with shrimp. I did use peeled shrimp, so I adjusted the marinating time to account for that. Otherwise made as directed and was pleased with the result. Thanks for posting! Made for Spring PAC 09.
