Shrimp Lafayette

Description

I found this recipe in our local newspaper, submitted by a very well know chef. The preperation and ingredients make for a great special occasion meal. Very tasty, you can taste the spices, but they do not over power the delicate taste of the shrimp. I use fresh large Gulf Shrimp for this dish. Do not use the frozen precooked shrimp, they will get rubbery.
