Since Memorial Day is right around the corner, I thought I would share one of my favorite shrimp dishes with you.  I love shrimp!  This is something fairly easy that can be prepared ahead of time and requires little effort so you can enjoy your guests.

  • 4lbs Unpeeled, large fresh shrimp without heads or 6lbs shrimp with heads
  • 1/2 cup butter                   
  • 1/2 cup olive oil                        
  • 2 lemons, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce         
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped         
  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2Tbs Creole seasoning   
  • 2Tbs lemon juice                      
  • 1Tbs chopped parsley
  • 1tsp paprika                       
  • 1tsp oregano                               
  • 1tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp hot sauce             
  • French bread

Spread shrimp in a shallow, aluminum foil-lined pan.  Combine butter and next 12 ingredients in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until butter melts, and pour over shrimp.  Cover and chill 2 hours, turning shrimp every 30 minutes.  Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 20 minutes; turn once.  Serve with French Bread.  Serves 6-8

I like to cook this on the grill instead of in the oven!
