Reviews
My family loved this shrimp.
Loved this recipe! I adjusted the cayenne pepper to 2 teaspoons because my husband is not into that much heat, otherwise followed the recipe. Absolutely delicious!! Used the spice rub on my filet mignon and loved that also. Cajun Aces rocks!!!
Simple but packed full of awesome flavor. The spice blend, the garlic, butter, lemon………how can you go wrong? Awesome!!!
