The BEST Shrimp

[Bethers]

I shared this recipe on Facebook before I tried it. I know a couple ladies have already made it ... but I finally did today, and it was AWESOME. I always like my scampi the best (when making shrimp) but this now is my favorite. And it's soooooooo easy.

Here's the basic recipe:

Melt a stick of butter in the pan. Slice one lemon and layer it on top of the butter. Put down fresh shrimp, then sprinkle one pack of dried Italian seasoning. Put in the oven and bake at 350 for 15 min.

The picture of the recipe showed the shrimp not yet peeled and deveined, but I peeled and deveined them - like eating them hot.

Changes I made:
I used ½ butter and ½ EVOO. Making one serving used less and used ½ pack of seasoning. Added garlic to the butter/olive oil mixture. Next time I'll add hot pepper flakes with the seasoning.

sounds yummy Beth but I'm surprised that you used your oven as hot as it's been
looking forward to seeing you

Is that a jab at all of us in the rest of the country STILL freezing?
PUH-leez send some of that warmth East...

Freezing? It's snowing here...of course the Easter eggs are easier to find against the white!

not a jab Mitch it's just hot here up in the high 80's to the low 90"s
and the creepy slithery things are out and about! they've killed 6 here in the park

That does sound good. Thanks, Beth.

Oh yum ... that sounds awesome! And I think that your modifications of EVOO and chili powder (I would use chipotle) would be really good. I've got some shrimps in the freezer that I think could use a hot butter bath in the next day or so ... thanks!!

And, of course, cut down the butter combination to work with the amount of shrimp. I have a feeling this recipe made lots more shrimp than I did/do.

Sounds delish.

Went looking for lunchtime inspiration and found Beth's shrimp recipe. I didn't have italian dressing seasoning so used herbes d'provence, salt and pepper. Should have added garlic because I love it but forgot. I also added fresh broccoli florets. Turned out very good but florets were chrunchy. I would steam them slightly separately first and then add to the rest of the dish next time.
