“I think my Spicy Shrimp is unique, and it’s easy to prepare,” writes Bob Gebhardt of Wausau, Wisconsin.

SERVINGS: 6

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients:

  • 6 bacon strips, diced
  • 1 cup butter, cubed

  • 1/4 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano and thyme

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp; drain. Stir in the butter, garlic, seafood seasoning, mustard, chili powder, pepper, hot sauce, basil, oregano and thyme. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes.

  • Re: Spicy Shrimp

    The first time I made this recipe I followed the directions explicitly and the result was so delicious I knew I would make it again.

    The second time, my husband suggested we shell and devein the uncooked shrimp before putting them in the baking pan. We also added chopped green and red bell peppers that we grew in our garden. It worked beautifully and was probably even tastier. We served the shrimp with saffron rice, accompanied with lots of French bread to sop up the wonderful sauce. Thank you, Mr. Gebhardt for sharing your unique recipe.
