Ingredients
- 2 cups (4 sticks) melted butter
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (recommended: Texas Pete)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 5 pounds unpeeled medium shrimp
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- French bread, for dipping
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Stir together the butter, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, pepper, hot sauce, garlic, and salt. Pour half this mixture into a large heatproof dish. Layer half the shrimp and half the lemon slices in the dish; then form a second layer with the remaining shrimp and lemon slices, and pour remaining sauce into the dish. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, stirring twice. Pour off the sauce into individual serving dishes. Serve the shrimp with plenty of French bread for dipping in the spicy butter sauce.

Eh, it was really just ok for me. I think it could have used a lot more spice and a little less lemon. I think I will try it again and alter the ingredients a bit next time- maybe increase the hot sauce or add some diced chilis.

What a surprise! Found a sale on shrimp and started looking up recipes. I had all the ingredients for this one except for the hot sauce the Paula suggested. Found Tabasco "Chipotle" -- what a winner! Never baked shrimp before -- this is a true five star recipe! Can't wait to have it again.

This recipe is now a staple in my home. At first, I was a bit hesitant to "bake" the shrimp in the oven but I'm sure glad I tried it! The combination of flavors in this dish are divine! It's lemony and spicy and goes so well tossed with pasta or rice. The shrimp always come out prefectly cooked. I have found that you don't need 5 lbs of shrimp. Half that is fine.
