How to Make Spicy Cranberry Dip For Shrimp

  1. Combine 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 2 tablespoons butter in a 2-cup microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then stir. Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until cranberries have burst and the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened (approximately 2-4 minutes total).
