  • Place shrimp in a casserole dish.
  • Pour butter sauce over shrimp and toss to coat.
  • Toss a few lemon slices in with the shrimp.

Notes

This makes a great appetizer or even a fun dinner served with a big salad! In the summer I do this on a grill in a foil pan. No need to even cover it with foil. The minute the shrimp turns pink, it’s done! It’s so good! Always a hit! Make sure to serve with plenty of napkins! Serves 8 as an appetizer.  Serves 4 to 6 if it’s dinner.
