๐Ÿค” Common Questions

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes just thaw them first so they cook evenly.

Is it super spicy?

It’s about medium spicy, but you can decrease the spice by cutting the Zatarain Concentrate in half. Or if you want it mild decrease all together replace with 1 tsp of each: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon pepper seasoning, and Tonys creole.
