My mouth has been watering

For the past couple weeks, I have been yearning for cajun shrimp. I found a very simple recipe online--shrimp, garlic, oregano, thyme, cayenne, paprika. I mixed the spices together in a baggie and coated the shrimp. Then cooked in butter. I served the shrimp with wild rice pilaf, strawberries, and crisp tender zucchini and carrots. A colorful and tasty meal. I am wondering if I can intensify the spicy flavor by drying the shrimp. A fun and different meal.
