Spicy Shrimp in Cream Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: MRGREGG PHOTO BY: Rob Hudgins

"Shrimp in a spicy cream sauce to be served as an appetizer with hot-baked French bread (for dipping), or over fettuccini (as a not-so-light meal). Fun to prepare in front of guests as a prelude to a nice seafood dinner! Use any hot pepper you like, Cajun seasoning, or even hotter!"
