    This was a super easy recipe. I thawed some frozen shrimp and just sautéed them in the pan in some oil, put them on a paper towel-lined plate while I prepared the rest of the recipe, and put them back in the pan at the end to heat through. It worked really well. It was fast and definitely hit the spot. I don't think this quite makes 4 servings though, so definitely have some side dishes, or double the recipe if you're trying to feed 4.

    "Don't let some of the ingredients fool you -- this spicy shrimp makes a simple, impressive dish, which I usually make for company. For more or less heat, adjust amount of red pepper. Serve over hot steamed rice."
