Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 3 pounds (more Or Less) Unpeeled Shrimp (21-26 Count Or Larger)
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 3 whole Lemons (juice Of)
- 1/4 cup (to 1/2 Cup) Worcestershire Sauce
- Tabasco
- 1 stick Butter
Instructions
- First, thoroughly rinse raw shrimp w/shells still on. I use 21-26 count (that means 21-26 shrimp per pound) but I’ve certainly used bigger. Any smaller than this, and it’s difficult to peel, so stick with 21-26 or bigger. Place the shrimp in a large baking pan in a single layer. Over top of the shrimp drizzle about 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil.
- Generously sprinkle black pepper over top of the shrimp. Be very generous! Now sprinkle generously with salt (I use kosher).
- Squeeze the juice of about 3-4 lemons over top of all of the shrimp. Now GENEROUSLY drizzle Worcestershire all over the shrimp, about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup. Drizzle Tabasco sauce over the top to your desired temperature. Some like it hot.
- Now grab your stick of butter and cut it into pats. Place the pats of butter on top of the shrimp as evenly spaced as possible.
- Place the pan of shrimp under the broiler in your oven for just about 10 minutes until the shrimp are no longer translucent. Serve with a roll of crusty French bread because you need something to absorb all of the glorious juices.
