A Shrimp Shack Special!
This dish is fun for the whole family, and it’s easy. Buy the shrimp
already peeled and deveined. If it’s frozen, thaw it in a bowl of cold
water, drain, and pat dry. The slaw is made with prepared cole slaw
mix and a can of beans — and it’s a red slaw, made spicy with chili
powder and hot sauce. If you prefer not to make the sauce, simply use
premade cocktail sauce.

~~~Shrimp~~~
1 lb peeled and deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp hot-pepper sauce
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
