Notes
You can use any size shrimp you prefer. Adjust cook time accordingly.
You can use tail on or tail off shrimp, depending on how you plan to serve the shrimp and what you have on hand. Either will work great!
Add additional cayenne pepper for more of a spicy kick or swap it out for chili powder to keep it more mild.
