About Anchored Shrimp
This is some of the best wild caught shrimp I have ever had. As said before, Anchored Shrimp comes from the coast of Georgia and only harvests the wild fresh delicious shrimp. They are highly versatile whether you are making tacos or just grilling over some hot coals. For these though, I seasoned them in a spicy shrimp mix and topped with a cooling aioli to finish.
The Spicy Shrimp Seasoning
There are a ton of ways to season shrimp. Whether you want zesty, savory or spicy shrimp, you will end up with something delicious. These Spicy Shrimp with Pineapple Aioli from Anchored Shrimp were seasoned with a great blend of ancho chile powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, cinnamon, pepper, cayenne and salt.
The heat comes from the blending of ancho chile powder and cayenne. Some zesty tang comes from the cumin, onion and garlic powder to give a nice depth of flavor. Overall these are relatively mild in the spicy category, but these spicy shrimp will still give you a kick if you let your guard down.
Pineapple Aioli Time
So why top these Spicy Shrimp with an aioli? Well, the nice fruity citrus flavor from the pineapple combined with the creaminess of the mayonnaise will help to calm your taste buds after a big bite of spiciness.
The Pineapple Aioli is a great blend to place on just about anything needing to curb some heat. These Anchored Shrimp are delicious when topped with the aioli along with some sesame seeds and scallions!
