It is NOT that spicy, in fact DH did not even come close to breaking a sweat which is how he gauges how spicy something is. You can always cut down on the amount of red pepper flakes if you want.

THE BIG EASY SPICY SHRIMP

Categories     Shellfish

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 can (26 1/2 ounces) traditional-flavor spaghetti sauce
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in bell pepper, onion and celery. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times, until vegetables are tender, yet still crisp. Meanwhile, combine spaghetti sauce and diced tomatoes with chilies in a separate, medium saucepan over medium heat. Cover, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add shrimp to the Dutch oven and increase heat to high. Cook 2 to 3 minutes while tossing, until shrimp are pink and just opaque in the center. Add sauce; stir well and return to a simmer. Serve shrimp over rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a large skillet. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcrowding and sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to sear the shrimp and lock in their flavor.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp only take a few minutes to cook. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Season the shrimp simply. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served hot and fresh.
