It's girly shrimp because it is made with sugar and spice and everything nice...

1 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 large clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 1/2 inch slice fresh ginger, peeled and mined

1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground tumeric

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. In mixing bowl, combine the sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, cayenne, allspice, tumeric and flour. Grease large baking sheet.

Dredge the shrimp, a few at a time, in the sugar mixture and place on baking sheet. Bake until sugar is caramelized, especially on the bottom, about 10 minutes.

Remove the shrimp from the oven, turn over with a spatula and squeeze the lime juice over them. Place on platter and serve immediately.
