Madge's Spicy Cajsian Shrimp


Madge’s Spicy Cajsian Shrimp
These spicy grilled shrimp have both a Thai and a Cajun flair. Enjoy with a loaf of warm crusty bread or cook up some brown rice. Try them with a side of mango salsa for a hot and sweet combo. Highly recommended with a glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
