Thanks! – Mike H. Today we’re talking Southern-Style Spicy Shrimp, and I know you’re going to love this recipe. I’m cooking these shrimp up in a nice and spicy tomato sauce that is simmered with the Cajun Holy Trinity of celery, bell peppers (though I’m using jalapenos here for extra heat), and onions, along with a good portion of Cajun Seasonings and a few other ingredients that REALLY bring the FLAVOR. It’s great as either a dinner or to serve as a party appetizer. Let’s talk about how to make spicy shrimp and rice, shall we? Next, add the garlic and cook another minute, until you can smell that gorgeous garlic. Stir in the butter, tomato sauce, Cajun seasonings, Worcestershire, vinegar, hot sauce and sweet chili sauce. Adjust with salt and pepper. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 15 minutes. You can simmer longer to develop more flavor. Add the shrimp and tuck them into the sauce. Simmer about 5 minutes to cook the shrimp, stirring here and there, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Garnish and serve. BOOM! DONE! Easy Cajun cooking, right? I love easy. And spicy.
