Recipe / Priscilla Tsai Spicy baked shrimp
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 8:00 AM
It must be the end of the world. I gave my KitchenAid mixer a rest and actually made something that doesn't require beating butter and at least 1 cup of sugar.
This spicy baked shrimp is an easy summer meal. Just marinate, pop it in the oven and you're done. A short ingredient list makes it easy to put together. The biggest pain in the butt was shelling and de-veining the shrimp.
Seasoned with Cajun spices, cayenne and soy sauce, it's pretty spicy (and salty too), so be sure to serve it with lots of crusty bread or even over pasta. The sauce sopped up with bread is the best part.
For a twist, I added some crumbled blue cheese on top and it was pretty good. I guess it has the same effect as eating hot wings with blue cheese dressing. Next time I might make a "creme fraiche" type sauce using blue cheese and sour cream to drizzle on top.
