Can’t wait to try this, my husband and I had a wonderful shrimp spread in Key West on our honeymoon!! this sounds like the one there tasted!! Thanks so much for the recipe
You are welcome, Shari! I hope it turns out to be just like the one you enjoyed in Key West.
Hello sounds yummy. Just a quick question. Do you think fresh/frozen shrimp could be used instead of the 4oz can? Thañk you and Happy new year!
The texture will be a bit different but I’m sure if you cook them and thaw them they should work okay.
Wonderful recipe, great flavor, quick to make, and very tasty.
I wish you would just list the spices required rather than suggesting “Old Bay Seasoning” as no one seems to import such rubs and mixes into Australia.
Love your recipes.
