1-1/2 pounds raw, unpeeled shrimp

6 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons bottled chili sauce

1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce

Preparation

Rinse shrimp in cold water and pat dry; set aside. Saute or steam carrots, celery, mushrooms, and onion until tender; set aside and keep warm. Place butter, olive oil, chili sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, parsley, liquid smoke, oregano, paprika, thyme, hot pepper sauce, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a large skillet. Bring mixture to a simmer, simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp. Turn heat to high and cook, stirring often, until shrimp just curl and turn pink, 5 to 10 minutes (do not overcook or shrimp will be tough). Add steamed vegetables. Serve immediately with steamed white rice or seasoned rice.
