This can be a little bit spicy for the kids, so you might want to reduce the amount of hot sauce if you have little ones to feed. It’s a great way to introduce shrimp and other flavors though if you have children that are willing to try something new. My kids are teenagers and they really enjoy this. So much so in fact, they will often time request this over going out to eat. I don’t have any problems with that at all. Paired with a nice salad and garlic bread, it feels like we’re at the restaurant anyway!

Whether you’re serving a crowd or just yourself, this is always a crowd pleaser.
