When you live in Texas, you like things hot. I think because we are bordered by Mexico and Louisiana,that we get the best of both foods here. We love seafood. After all we also live on Gulf of Mexico. So here is a seafood recipe of my Mother's with a Cajun flavor.

1 clove garlic, chopped
½ lb cleaned shrimp
