Barbecued Shrimp 2
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh, unpeeled shrimp
- 4 stalks celery with leaves, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 lemons, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoon cracked black pepper
- 3/4 cup butter, cut into cubes
- Lemon wedges (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon hot sauce
Instructions
- Wash shrimp thoroughly and place in a large shallow pan. Add celery and garlic. Squeeze juice from lemons over top. Dot shrimp with butter and sprinkle with remaining ingredients except lemon wedges.
- Place shrimp under broiler until butter melts and shrimp starts to turn pink (about 5 minutes), stirring several times. When all shrimp are slightly pink, reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake 20 more minutes or until done, stirring often. Do not overcook or shrimp will become mushy. Test for doneness.
- Garnish with lemon wedges.
Notes
Flavor improves if shrimp are cooked ahead of time and then reheated, but do not overcook.
