Aunt Barbra's Firecracker Shrimp image

This recipe comes from my Aunt Barbra in Texas. I have made some minor adjustments to the recipe. The original recipe called for 1 cup of butter, I use 1/4 cup or feel free to use olive oil instead. A combination of the 2 will also work. You can control the heat of this dish by using either mild or spicy diced tomatoes.
