Spicy Glazed Shrimp image

Sooo easy and sooo good! We couldn't stop eating these! I served it at an all girls' luncheon yesterday and it was the first dish to disappear. One good friend of mine asked for the left over glaze to go! Glaze needs to be refrigerated overnight for flavors to meld.

1/2 cup tomato paste
