Notes

Shrimp - I used small shrimp, but if you want you can use large or even jumbo. If you do just cut up the shrimp into smaller pieces.

Sauce - You can add a little cayenne or even red pepper flakes or Creole seasoning to add spice to the sauce.

Mix in - Add in hard boiled eggs, fresh veggies, etc. I share a ton of ways to change up the recipe a bit if you want something a little different.
