Ingredients

▢ 1/2 pound butter (2 sticks)
▢ 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
▢ 1/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce - more if you like it spicy!
▢ 2 cloves garlic - minced
▢ 2 pounds large shrimp (raw and deveined peeled or unpeeled)
▢ 3 lemons
▢ 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, juice from half a lemon, hot sauce and garlic. Stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Place shrimp in a casserole dish.
Pour butter sauce over shrimp and toss to coat.
Toss a few lemon slices in with the shrimp.
Bake shrimp covered in foil for 15 to 30 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink, stirring twice.
Serve warm shrimp with parsley on top, fresh lemon wedges, extra hot sauce and crusty French bread for dipping in the sauce.

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.
