It seems like a LOT of black pepper, but trust me-it works. You get it all over your fingers as you shell the shrimp and eat them, so have some wet wash cloths rolled up and ready. This cooks up in just a few minutes, so have the rest of your dinner ready before you start (I suggest a hearty salad and bread). Ingredients:
3 lbs fresh shrimp, unpeeled (heads cut off) |
8 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons chopped garlic |
4 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Rinse and drain shrimp and place in shallow baking pan.
3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
4. Add the garlic and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Pour the garlic butter mixture over shrimp and toss to coat.
6. Sprinkle about half the pepper over shrimp until they are well covered.
7. Remember-don't be afraid!
8. Bake until pink (about 5 minutes).
9. Turn shrimp over sprinkle with remaining pepper and bake a few minutes longer.
10. Don't overcook!
