This recipe is my family's favorite. I make it for every celebration because it's easy, delicious and meant to be shared. You can make it as mild or as spicy as you like just by adding more Tabasco sauce. Basically it's like a party in a pan. Make sure you have fresh crusty bread for dipping into the sauce.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. The shrimp were good, but the sauce was a bit bland. I think it could have used more garlic and paprika.
