Broiled Cajun Shrimp

 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt

• Directions:

• 1) Preheat broiler.
  
  2) Combine shrimp, garlic, oil, and hot sauce in a medium bowl; toss well and let marinade 15 minutes.
  
  3) Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until melted and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Keep warm on very low heat.
  
  4) Transfer shrimp to a large baking sheet; broil until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven; thread onto serving skewers.
  
  5) Arrange shrimp skewers on a serving platter. Pour butter sauce into a dipping bowl. Serve warm.
• Spicy and zesty, these shrimp bites should be served along something mild and creamy, such as corn grits, mashed potatoes, or a tomato rice pilaf. When choosing a wine, consider the whites that have a bit of aroma and crispness, such as Pinot Grigio, Riesling, or sparkling Chardonnay.
