Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt butter and peanut oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, paprika, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper to the skillet.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to infuse the flavors.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and let the sauce cool slightly to allow flavors to marry for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450&# 194;°F (230ðC).
  6. Reheat the butter sauce over medium heat until warm.
  7. Add raw shrimp to the skillet and cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, just until they begin to turn pink.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until shrimp are fully cooked and opaque.
  9. Taste the shrimp and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary before serving.

Note

The butter sauce can be made a day in advance and refrigerated. Reheat gently before adding shrimp.

Use shrimp sized 30-35 per pound for best results. Adjust cooking time if using larger or smaller shrimp.

For a milder heat, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it entirely.

Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough. They are done when they turn pink and opaque.

Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
