SPICY ISLAND SHRIMP

Spicy Island Shrimp image

My husband got this recipe while he was living on St. Croix Island. We've served the zippy shrimp dish on several holiday occasions. I'm amazed at how even those who claim not to care for shrimp come out of their shells and devour them when they're prepared this way! -Teresa Methe, Minden, Nebraska

JEKYLL ISLAND SHRIMP

Jekyll Island Shrimp image

Named for the island off the coast of Georgia, this dish can serve as a rich appetizer or an elegant main dish! This comes from my "America Cooks" cookbook! I love it for it's simplicity and elegance! Hope you enjoy! Update: I have prepared this dish using frozen, cooked shrimp and as suggested by the comments from a reviewer, the shrimp were a little tough. Since the cooking time is to melt the butter and for the topping to get crisp, I would suggest reducing the cook time or using uncooked shrimp. I can say, even though the shrimp I used were a little tough, the taste was delicious! Hope this helps! Thanks!
