1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves (preferably mexican) |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together the Champagne, lemon juice, oregano, and cayenne.

5. Bring the seasoned water to a boil over high heat, add the shrimp, and return the water to a boil.
