J and I have been trying to make new and interesting things for dinners lately because we kind of got in a funk when it came to meals for a little while. It seemed like we were always making the same things over and over again so each week we've been trying to make at least two nights into a trial nights for something new and fresh and not the typical.
We've found a good one, let me tell you! And the fact that we made this recipe twice in the same week definitely says "success" to me.
Spicy Shrimp from The Pioneer Woman
Ingredients
- 3 lbs unpeeled shrimp (21-26 count or larger)
- 1/2 c olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 3 whole lemons
- 1/4 c Worcestershire sauce
- Tobasco
- 1 stick butter
This recipe is right up our alley.
I made a few changes but stuck to the recipe for the most part and her instructions and pictures are awesome so I won't go into detail about that. We only made 2 lbs of shrimp (which is definitely a lot for two people) so I adjusted the other ingredients down a little bit as well. We only used shrimp that were the 31-36 size and they turned out just fine. I think I used more Tobasco that typical since J and I luuuvvv spicy and I only used about a quarter of a stick of butter. The Paula Dean in me just couldn't push me into putting that much butter on it and we enjoyed it 100% even without it. I served it up with crusty french bread just like I was told to and it was absolutely delicious!
This recipe's going in the arsenal to be made again and again!
