Notes

When I make this for my family, I wait to add the cayenne until after I pull a few shrimp out of the pan for my daughters! Then once they have a few non-spicy ones, I’ll add the cayenne for my husband and myself. 🙂 The spicy with the sweet is so yummy!

This serves me, my husband, and our two young kids who each only eat a few pieces of shrimp. If you’re serving 4 adults, I would double the shrimp amounts (increase to 2lbs of shrimp and scale spices up).

I personally like to remove the tails before cooking just so that when I’m eating I don’t have to mess with the tails. I thaw the frozen shrimp and then remove the tails before tossing with the spices. But you can do it either way!
