Spicy Garlic Sauce Shrimp

This is something that I make when I have company and around the holidays. Not because it's hard or takes a long time; but for the soul reason I would be the only one eating it, since my husband should avoid seafood because of his gout. I don't know about the rest of you, but I hate to make two different dinners just to accommodate one person, therefore I tend to opt for not making it all together unless I have someone else to share it with.

On New Year's Eve when I was planning my dinner, I wanted to see what I had on hand, and in the freezer, this is when I came across some shrimp. I was about to put it back in the freezer, but then I decided that since we were doing a bunch of apps this would be a good time to use it up. It something so simple that anyone could whip up in a moments notice. It could make for a wonderful main dish to go along with some rice, or could be eaten as an appetizer.

It wasn't until my husband said "have you blogged this recipe yet...because it's really, really good," that I ever thought about blogging about it. So this one is for you honey! Like always I hope you all enjoy and if you do try it, please come back and let me know how it came out.

Inspired by my need to spicy garlic shrimp LOL =)
