Worthy of a Special Occasion

Peel these at the table, and serve with a slice of crusty baguette.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 packet)

Ingredients

  • 3  tablespoons  Worcestershire sauce
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
  • 1  tablespoon  butter, melted
  • 2  teaspoons  chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2  teaspoons  chopped garlic
  • 1/2  teaspoon  dried thyme
  • 1/2  teaspoon  hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 2  pounds  unpeeled large shrimp
  • 2  lemons, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
  • 4  teaspoons  butter, divided

Preparation

Combine first 11 ingredients in a large bowl; toss well. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425°.

Fold 4 (16 x 12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil in half crosswise. Open foil. Remove shrimp mixture from bowl; reserve marinade. Place about 2 1/4 cups shrimp mixture on half of each foil sheet. Drizzle remaining marinade evenly over shrimp. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon butter. Fold foil over shrimp; tightly seal edges.

Place packets on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Place on plates. Unfold packets carefully; peel shrimp, and serve immediately.

Absolutely Scrumptious!! I had everything on hand and decided to make it for a quick Thursday night dinner. The flavor was too die for and so very quick and easy to prepare. I used medium sized shrimp and should have trust my judgment about the cooking time; next time will cut in half. Definitely needs something to soak up the yummy sauce...bread, rice...anything not to let it go to waste :)10/08/09
