I have been making this for about 30 years. Very easy. It can be served as an appetizer or as a main course over rice or pasta. Have plenty of crusty bread on hand to dip in the sauce.

Ingredients:

1 lb shrimp, shells removed

1/4 cup butter

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

2 tablespoons barbecue sauce

1 bay leaf, crushed

1 garlic clove, crushed (or 1 tbls minced)

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper

1 tablespoon hot sauce (i use red hot)

Directions:

1. Melt butter….sauté shrimp add wet ingredients and then the dry ingredients and serve over rice or pasta.
2. Note: I prep the dry ingredients in a ramikin and the wet ingredients in a seperate ramikin to add to the shrimp just before they are done.
