Summary
The shrimp is mildly spicy. Just enough for your lips to ask, ???
I tossed it with piri piri for just a touch of heat (use more or less depending on your preferences), garlic (of course) and lots of fresh lemon and lime zest. I then grilled it up to give the shrimp some nice char marks and another layer of flavor.
