I eat a lot of shrimp, and let me tell you, this is one of THE best recipes I have ever tried. Incredibly easy. Full of flavour. There was nothing about it that I didn't love. In fact, I loved it so much that 2 servings very quickly became just 1 :) thank you so much for sharing a terrific recipe that I will make often. Made for ZWT5 Groovy GastroGnomes.

It doesn't get any easier than this!! I served this with some crusty french bread and a green salad, and it was wonderful! I did use real butter instead of margarine, and upped the chili powder a bit- I misread the recipe and used Tablespoons instead of teaspoons, but our family likes it really spicy.
