Shrimp enthusiasts shouldn't miss out on a dish like this one. Although the Yucatán Peninsula is further south on the Gulf of Mexico, this dish hails from the waters off Florida's coast. The garlic, butter, and special sauce give it a kick that keeps diners coming back for more. Serve it with crusty bread and white wine or an icy cold beer. With every bite, you can almost imagine the dazzling blue waters of the Gulf and the sea breeze. And don't forget the huge, tender shrimp.
