Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, toss the Shrimp with 1/4 cup of the Hot Sauce, Garlic, Lemon Zest and Oil. Cover with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the Olive Oil and Shallot and sauté for two minutes. Add the Spices and continue to cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for one more minute. Add the Heavy Cream and Salt and reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes (it should thicken slightly). Whisk in the Goat Cheese, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes then stir in the Herbs.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the Shrimp with the Salt and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until opaque all the way through. Remove to a clean bowl and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Hot Sauce. Serve with the Goat Cheese Dipping Sauce.
