Cajun Shrimp

By: Donna Thomason

"Donna Thomason knows how to bring a little pizzazz to her El Pas, Texas table--she stirs up a batch of these zippy shrimp. Use as much or as little cayenne pepper as you like, depending on your family's tastes. 'This is nice served alongside rice pilaf,' she suggests."
