spicy shrimp???

[key]

whats some simple techniques to make spicy shrimp?? boil, grill,....? dont have to many choices whe it comes to ingridients.

[Kenny 13]

You can boil or grill and get good spicy shrimp. Just be careful when boiling because you can easily make them too spicy if you're heavy handed with the seasoning.

I love grilled shrimp and there are a multitude of ways to season them. You can go as simple as sprinkling a little creole seasoning on them, and add a little cayenne pepper if you want more spice. Buffalo shrimp are great too if you just want to use a mixture of melted butter & your favorite bottled hot pepper sauce. When I do that, I like to add some fresh lemon juice & minced garlic to that sauce mixture as well. The only bad thing about grilled shrimp, IMO, is they are quite a bit of work for something that disappears off the plate so quickly
