serves 6
Ingredients
3 pounds fresh shrimp, unpeeled
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
4 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and drain shrimp. Place in a shallow baking pan. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add garlic and sauté 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over shrimp and toss to coat. Pepper shrimp until shrimp are covered well. Bake until pink (about 5 minutes), turn, bake a few minutes longer, and pepper again. This will not be good unless you use a heavy hand with the pepper. Serve with a fresh garden salad and hot French bread. Dip bread in the pan juices for an extra treat.
