This is a great appetizer or side dish to go with any seafood/cajun feast. You can adjust the spice by decreasing the amount of cajun seasoning or you can substitute chili powder.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I will try this recipe again with a lower cooking temperature.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I will try it again with less cayenne pepper.
