We were nearing the end of the shelf-life for our current bottles of DEFCON wing sauce, when we decided it was time to go ahead and whip up a batch of wings over the weekend. One problem was thta we had slightly too much sauce and not enough wings. Rather than take a risk of letting the sauce go bad from lack of use, we decided to try an experiment. We had a box of breaded shrimp in our freezer which we were using to taste a spicy cocktail sauce, so we appropriated about half of them to become our inaugural attemp at DEFCON 2 Shrimp. The results you can see above.

Honestly, they were pretty darn good. The breading tones down the heat of the wing sauce a little and gives a texture reminiscent of Hooters’ wings, but we liked ‘em as a change of pace from regular ol’ shrimp. The next step is to try the same thing, but with the DEFCON 1 sauce to make ‘em spicy enough for Joe.
