"This is one of the easiest and most delicious recipes ever. My four kids and husband love this dish and I love making it, especially when I'm on a tight schedule. The ironic thing is that I'm highly allergic to shrimp. It's a labor of love for me, but it's not often that your family agrees on one dish. Take it from them, it's the best!" — Emily Nowell
Ingredients:
- 2 lb. shrimp, deheaded but shells on (frozen is fine)
- 1.5 sticks of butter
- 1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 lemon, juice only
- 1.5 t. Tony Chachere's
- 1 lemon, sliced into thin rounds
- Bread for dipping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Melt the butter in a large rimmed cookie sheet (I do this in the oven while it preheats). Once oven is hot and butter melted, add shrimp to the pan and spread into a single layer. Pour over Worcestershire and lemon juice. Sprinkle Tony's over everything, and top with lemon slices. Bake 10-15 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Serve peel-and-eat style, and dip lots of bread into that sauce or the famous comeback sauce!
