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.

    Paula... it is party time at my daughter's house for the New Year. I bring the Fiery Cajun Shrimp and they are gone in no time at all. The guests enjoy them and remind me to bring them again the following year. You are with us to celebrate every year Paula. Good job, great food, you are the best.

    Once again, an outstanding hit!!!! I made this for a thank you reception that I hosted for an auction event volunteer committee. One guest told me he was simply embarassed and ashamed that he made such a pig of himself on these! I baked this in a 4 qt. chafing dish pan and left it on the heat, keeping the butter sauce warm for the dippin'! Don't forget to tell your guests to dip the bread! Thanks, Paula, for making me look great - again!!!!!

    I've made this recipe several times now and everytime its a hit. Only difference was, I melted the butter added the garlic and let saute for a few minutes. Then I added the rest of the ingredients and let simmer for 5 minutes. Then I added the shrimp and set on high heat, covered for 5 minutes then serve...Added some lemon all over and start SUCKIN!!! GREAT RECIPE
