Black Pepper Shrimp

I had a craving for black pepper shrimp the other day. Shrimp is a great weekday meal since it takes just minutes to cook. When I searched for “black pepper shrimp”, I was thinking perhaps something more Asian.

I was surprised to find this Paula Deen recipe, and even more surprised to see it had over 90 five-star reviews. Add to that, just 4 ingredients and 20 minutes from start to finish, and I had to try it! It’s a must to use un-peeled shrimp, as the pepper will be over-powering on peeled shrimp. I added more butter than Paula specified (that was surprising!), slightly less pepper, and served it over buttery rice pilaf. This was a winner in my house!

I hope you enjoy this black pepper shrimp recipe.
