SHRIMP LEMON SPICE 
These are great!

2 lb. shrimp (regular size)
2 large lemons
chili powder
cayenne pepper
fresh minced garlic
salt and pepper, to taste

Take the shrimp and wash them really good, then drain the water and put them into a bowl. Next take the zest of one lemon and grate the zest from the lemon into the bowl. Next half both of the lemons and squeeze the fresh juices into the bowl. Stir it in. Next add quite a bit of chili powder, I layer quite a bit for a good flavor and kick, but use for your preference. Next add very little cayenne pepper, barely just layer the top, now stir in all in, then add the fresh minced garlic, and also add the salt and pepper. Marinate for 5 to 8 hours or overnight.

When you’re ready to cook, add olive oil to a skillet and sauté the shrimp until cooked. DO NOT OVER COOK! They will get very chewy if you do. Thank you :)

Serves 5.

Note: I use 2 pounds of regular sized shrimp, and that feeds a family of 5, or, you could use jumbo shrimp if you would like, all for your preference, but use what you need.
