Preparation

Step 1

Peel shrimp, leaving the tails attached. Butterfly the shrimp by cutting fairly deeply along the outside (back) curve of the shrimp - almost to the other side but not all the way through. Remove the black vein & flatten the shrimp to butterfly shape.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Melt butter and add olive oil, garlic, parsley, onion, lemon juice, basil, oregano and salt. Place the shrimp in one layer in a large shallow baking pan. Pour butter mixture over shrimp; sprinkle with pepper.
Bake 5 minutes in preheated over, then run briefly and closely under broiler until shrimp are flecked with brown. Serve with pasta or rice.
