Mike's Spicy Cajun Shrimp


I don't actually know who Mike is, but i do know that he is a really good cook. I stole this recipe from another blog. It is truly AMAZING! That is, if you like shrimp. You can make it as spicy as you want; the 1/4 tsp. was not too spicy. Jason kept saying "this is soo good." This will probably be a regular in our house from now on.

1/4-1 tsp. ground cayenne pepper (Depends on your desired spiciness. We use 1/4 and it is PLENTY hot)
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. crushed thyme
1 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/3 c. butter
1 T. crushed garlic
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 lg. tomato diced
1 lb. frozen uncooked shrimp
1 T. sour cream
1 T. flour

Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Put the shrimp in a bowl of warm water to thaw, peel and de-tail. Melt butter in pan with Worcestershire sauce and garlic. When all melted, add the dry ingredients. Add Shrimp & cook until pink. Add flour and sour cream to thicken. Add Tomato. Serve over white rice.
