Notes

  • Variations:
  • Swap Old Bay for Cajun seasoning.
  • If you don't want to use buttermilk, double the yogurt.
  • If you don't want to use yogurt, double the buttermilk.
  • If you prefer, you can grill the shrimp instead of sauteing in a skillet.
  • Skip the french bread and make it a crunch wrap with a large tortilla.
