Grandma's BBQ Shrimp

This is a family recipe I am sharing with ya'll. So listen up, this is an irresistible shrimp recipe. Don't like shrimp? Gasp. Well this is really tasty so you might even be converted. It's not what you think of when you hear BBQ. It's much better.

Grandma's BBQ Shrimp

2 lbs. shrimp, in shell (medium is the best size, popcorn is too small and jumbo don't have as much flavor)
1/2 cup butter
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/3 cup Worcestershire
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme, dried
1/2 rosemary, dried
1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 lemons juiced

Melt butter in a skillet with olive oil. Add all ingredients except shrimp. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add shrimp and cook till pink (this will happen quickly, keep an eye on it).

So simple, so delicious. Serve with a crusty bread or serve over rice.

Be sure to put out an extra bowl to catch the shells.
The proper way to eat this is suck the juice off shrimp body. Then shell the shrimp, discard shell and eat the shrimp!! Think crawfish boil.
DO NOT waste any of the delicious juices!

This is a great appetizer. Seen here we used it as the surf in a surf n turf dinner. If you can share it with other people that is.
I hope enjoy this recipe as much as my family and I do.
