Cajun BBQ Shrimp

Ingredients
3/4 Pounds Live (If Possible) Shrimp
1/2 Stick butter
1/4 Olive Oil
1 tbs of Chili Sauce
1 ts Cayenne Powder
1/2 ts Black pepper powder
2 tb Apple Vinegar
1/2 lemon squeezed
Dash Salt
3 Cloves of Garlic (crushed)

Directions

Melt the butter in a large sauce pan on medium heat.

When the butter is melted, add the olive oil.

Stir the liquids together and then add the spices, lemon, vinegar and garlic.

Turn the heat up to high, allow the mixture to simmer for a moment, and then add the shrimp.

Cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp has all turned pink.  Do not cook the shrimp for too long or the shrimp will become tough.

Serve the shrimp over some pasta or with a little bit of crusty bread to sop up the delicious liquid.
