I love a good spicy shrimp marinara. The other day I happened to have some Marinara sauce left over and decided it was a good time to put that to use. I had some frozen Colossal shrimp that I purchased from Walmart. I prefer the ones that are frozen, yet still have the shell on. They've already had the vein removed so no extra work needed to clean them. The best thing about these is that I can use the amount of shrimp I need for one serving (or more) and keep the rest frozen for future use. I picked out 6-7 shrimp. I placed them in a bowl of water to defrost (usually takes only 25-30 minutes). Since these shrimp were going to be over rice (or pasta, your choice) prior to cooking I went ahead and peeled them entirely. I sprinkled the shrimp with Old Bay and Louisiana Spice rub. I pan seared the shrimp really quick to let the flavors sear into the shrimp. Just about a minute. I poured about a cup of the Marinara sauce I had into a sauce pan and heated it up on medium-low.
