Notes
- Fresh Gulf shrimp is a luxury for some of us landlocked folks, so I use frozen shrimp here instead. But if you can find fresh gulf shrimp, especially the sweet Key West Pinks of Florida, definitely go that route instead.
- *Note that you can add the orange and lemon slices to the sauce to cook and brown slightly if desired.
