Serve shrimp with French bread for dunking into the butter sauce.
MY CHANGES:
*I used frozen large raw peeled shrimp (from Sam's) straight from the freeezer. Just put it into the baking dish and topped with the sauce. It cooks up moist and tender in 30 minutes!
*I didn't have lemon pepper, so I used lemon zest and white pepper, which is a little hotter than black.
*I used an additional 1 heaping TBS of Cajun Seasoning.
*Also used alot of fresh minced garlic for the powder.
*And I threw in one of the lemons I had zested and juiced, just cut it into 4 sections.
