**WARNING** THIS RECIPE IS ADDICTIVE You will not even notice the shrimp in this dish! The Sauce OMG that stuff is INSANE! Grab your bread and get ready to dip dip dip dip dip! It's like you just GOTTA' dip! Suck them Shrimp before you peel em' This recipe came about when me and my best friend were starving after a few glasses of wine on the deck and this is what we threw together it knocked our socks off! LOL we made it 4 days in a row! The name is for Sherri my best friend because she is a transplanted Cajun from the Bayou to the Mountains! We don't like BBQ so this is our style of BBQ
