SHRIMP SAUCE PIQUANT
This Paul Prudhomme recipe (that I found on the internet somewhere) is only for the true chile head- but if you are one (like me) it just doesn't get any better than this. He mentions in his notes that the amount of jalapeno in the recipe can be halved for a lower heat level, but if you are worried about that, this recipe is definitely not for you. OOOH, it hurts so good !!!

LOUISIANA PICKERS SHRIMP WITH PIQUANT SAUCE
This recipe was found in a wonderful book called The Bluegrass Music Cookbook and was contributed by Marie Cox of the Cox Family, a Bluegrass music group from Cotton Valley, Louisiana. I've tweaked it only in very small ways from the original and lowered the oil substantially. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup cooking oil. If you're not worried about the fat content you could go with the original amount.

- Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Add shrimp and lemon slice and cook until shrimp is tender.
- Just before serving, add the green onions and parsley.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use homemade shrimp stock instead of water.
- If you don't have shrimp shells on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of shrimp bouillon powder dissolved in 1 cup of water.
- Be sure to cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- If you like your sauce spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Serve the shrimp sauce piquant over rice, pasta, or vegetables.
