Here's the Dish: Dirty Shrimp and Rice

Just one note of caution on this recipe ~ it's pretty hot! The heat can be toned down by using less of the cayenne pepper. As you know, I love shrimp, and this is a really quick and easy way to fix it. I usually serve this over brown rice, because it really soaks up the tasty butter beer sauce. Enjoy!
