Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the butter, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, hot sauce, salt, garlic, rosemary and cayenne.
In an ungreased 12 x 9 x 2-inch baking casserole, cover the bottom with the onion, then attractively layer the shrimp on top.
Cover the shrimp with the lemon slices and pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Bake uncovered until the shrimp turn pink-orange, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 20 minutes (but check for doneness by tasting a shrimp after the first 15 minutes). Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve hot.
