This is a favourite with friends and family and I usually have to make much more than a single recipe calls for. Wonderful for that 'something special' needed for the holidays. Ingredients:
2 lbs uncooked jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined or 2 lbs frozen shrimp, thawed |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
4 -5 cloves garlic, minced |
4 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 1/2 cups ritz cracker crumbs (or similar) |
1 teaspoon crushed dried basil leaves |
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill |
1/2 cup melted butter |
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine salt, pepper, lemon juice, garlic, and mayonnaise; stir until well blended; place shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over shrimp and close bag; marinate in the refrigerate several hours or overnight; remove from refrigerator; drain, reserving marinade in a bowl.
2. Preheat oven to 400F; in a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, basil, and dill; coat each shrimp with crumbs and place in a single layer in a large shallow baking dish.
3. To remaining marinade, add butter and olive oil; pour over shrimp.
4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until opaque in center (cut to test); remove from oven; serve with plenty of crusty bread for the sauce.
