Want a quick and easy recipe? Better yet, and mouth-watering delicious? Of course, you do. Shrimp is easy and fast to prepare, and as always, I constantly repeat a crowd pleaser as either an appetizer or the center of the plate. The only tip of caution is, do not overcook the shrimp! It cooks fast, within minutes.
This particular Cane Charred Shrimp Recipe has been in my back pocket, so to speak, for years. It's been on my restaurant menus, in my cookbooks, and I've even prepared it many times for dinner parties. A classic. Why? Because of all the wonderful comments of those who have enjoyed it!
