Ingredients

• 3 pounds fresh shrimp, unpeeled
• 8 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
• 4 tablespoons freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Wash and drain shrimp, and place in a shallow baking pan. In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the garlic, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp and toss to coat. Pepper shrimp until shrimp are well covered. Bake until pink, approximately 5 minutes, turn, bake a few minutes longer, and pepper again. You must use a heavy hand with the pepper.

Serve shrimp with warm bread and salad.
