Can't wait to try these. I have always brined my shrimp before cooking. I think this method of cooking will be great and you won't end up with flabby overcooked shrimp. I think I'll start with two habanero. Maybe add a sliced lemon too.
I won't be able to share these with the family. They don't do spicy well.
