Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp

The Pioneer Woman is one of my favorite blogs. She is funny and makes some of the best looking food ever. When I saw this recipe I knew Mike would love it. It is super simple too. We liked it so much we have it twice in one week.

From: Pioneer Woman

(Frozen) Raw Shell-On Shrimp (I used about 16)
3/4 cup Good quality Orange Juice
2-4 Cloves of Garlic (I used 4)
3 Tablespoons Salted Butter
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

Thaw and peel the shrimp. Run the frozen shrimp under cold water for a few minutes, then peeling away the outer shell. Dry the shrimp with a paper towel. Slice the garlic thin and add to the orange juice. Add the cayenne and old bay and stir. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pan. Throw the shrimp in and cook for about a minute and flip. Once the shrimp are nice and pink remove them from the pan. Leave the pan on the heat and allow to get really hot. Add the orange juice mixture. Add the final tablespoon of butter to the sauce and after a few minutes of cooking and occasional stirring. The sauce will thicken. Once the sauce has thicken add the shrimp back into the pan. Coat the shrimp in the sauce. And that is it. We had ours over rice. SO good.
