- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
What to Do

- Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl.

Note
We recommend leaving the tails on the shrimp when you peel them because it makes them easier to eat and they look great that way, too!
