If you follow my facebook page you saw me raving about a shrimp recipe I made this week. This here is that recipe. I even went so far on facebook to say it was my favorite shrimp recipe... I think I'll stand by that. Now, typically I'll make a recipe and some time will pass before it shows up on the blog, but this was just too good to wait.
First of all, why don't I typically bake shrimp? It's so easy! I always cook them in a skillet, but this was a nice alternative. Then, add to it that the sauce was delicious- unbelievable delicious actually. My friend Natalie said it sounds like a New Orleans BBQ sauce- I trust her when it comes to food, but I have no background knowledge on that so it might be quite similar. What I will tell you is we didn't find this spicy at all, but it was very flavorful. The best part is dipping your bread in the sauce- we killed off a whole loaf (a small loaf... don't judge...). Make this. We will be having this often.

This is too easy not to try, it would be great over some rice too. LOVE, emailing it to myself.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make this! Man, I'm drooling just looking at your photo.
ReplyDeleteI made this for supper for Father's Day, it was soooo yummy! I forgot to refrigerate it for an hour. I doubled the recipe and cooked at 350 degrees, thinking that was what the recipe called for, cooked my extra large shrimp for 20 minutes at the lower temp.
ReplyDeleteI made this for supper today. I doubled the recipe and cooked the extra large shrimp at 350 for 20 minutes. I thought that was the temp the recipe called for, just realized it says 450. I forgot to refrigerate it for an hour, was still sooooo yummy
ReplyDeletejust a comment, but it probably wasnt spicy because you left out the cayenne
ReplyDeleteMade it first on the barbecue and it was amazing! Not spicy though. Tonight I added cayenne pepper and used chicken and it was perfect!
