      I used Jane’s Crazy Mixed Up Salt and some Old Bay to season the shrimp. It came out exceptional. I added lemon and lime. It was a Med-Chesapeake touch. Thanks for posting.

        Hi John, I used 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, which is coarse and not as much compared to table salt. You can use 1/2 teaspoon regular salt. I have updated my recipe as most people use table salt.

      Can I use lemon-pepper spice mix rather than lemon juice and pepper?

      This is an awesome recipe. I love lemon and garlic.
      I frequently use both with shrimp or chicken and serve it with thin spaghetti.
