Sweet and Spicy Shrimp

John and I just returned from a wonderful vacation. We spent one night in Miami and then went on a cruise to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. While we were in Miami we ate at Emeril's restaurant and I had an awesome appetizer. It was barbecue shrimp and I seriously wanted to lick the plate. The sauce was so thick and rich yet it had a really nice subtle kick to it. I have been dying to make shrimp that were spicy yet saucy ever since.

Now, I tend to be a bit of a condiment queen with many open bottles of sauces in the fridge. It is a bit of an obsession! I made this sauce by just using a little bit of this and that. It came out really good! The sauce was sweet but the shrimp had some serious kick from the cajun seasoning. I was thrilled with the end results! Best of all it takes less than 10 minutes to make and is super healthy and low in calories. A total winner in our house.
