Cajun Shrimp Recipe
This is a dish I learned by watching the owner of a restaurant I worked at. You control how hot you want it. Very simple to do.

A very important tip for this one! Add some shrimp stock made from the heads and shells of the shrimp. The shrimp fat in these is very important! Always shake the pan, do not stir. This mixes the shrimp fat and the butter in a way that stirring cannot do. It becomes almost like cream! Well worth the effort and makes the dish. Also when serving sprinkle with either fresh chives or fresh coriander leaves!


Thanks for the suggestion


Any suggestions on the brand of creole seasoning and type of hot sauce? I've purchased several of both and the variations are huge!
