"From Kitchen Dreaming blog. With only five minutes in the oven, you can whip these up in no time. By altering the level of cayenne pepper and hot sauce, you can make these tickle your taste buds! Cook time allows time to preheat pans before adding shrimp. Allow extra prep time if your shrimp is shell-on!"

This was a very tasty shrimp dish that we enjoyed very much! I served it as main dish, but see how it can also be a great addition to a salad or appetizer as suggested. Otherwise, I followed it as close to the given directions, except that I used extra garlic and for the paprika I used half smoked and half regular. I did use the lemon zest. My daughter liked it so much that she asked me to make it again for dinner tomorrow. Thank you Kerfuffle-Upon-Wincle for a keeper!
