Cajun Garlic Butter Shrimp

I am a firm believer that if you hate a certain type of food, you can slowly but surely start to like it. Take me for example. I despised all fish and seafood growing up. When I had my first son, I realized that I had to start putting seafood apart of my diet and that my metabolism with each kid was decreasing. The donuts were now sticking to the thighs. ha! So I started to eat salmon. I slowly started to eat salmon that was smothered in some sort of delicious sauce. And guess what? Salmon is now my favorite to choose at a restaurant. But shrimp!? There was no way that I would ever grow to like it. The problem is I have married a shrimp lover. So I promised him that he could choose a shrimp recipe every other week for me to make. And of course, I have to try it right? Well, I am happy to report that it is slowly starting to grow on me and now I can actually eat it! This shrimp recipe became one of my favorites with the first bite. The unique sauce combination comes together in this recipe and makes it incredible!
