spicy cajun shrimp

This is traditionally made and served with unpeeled shrimp. I don't like the mess of shelling the shrimp at the table, so I prefer to shell them before I cook them. Another thing - if you use cooked shrimp - the kind that are so easy to find in most grocery stores in the midwest US - don't simmer so long in the liquid or they will get too tough. Served with beans and rice, it's truly a bit of the bayou wherever you are!
