    List of Ingredients




    Serves 4.

    1 pound butter
    1/2 cup lemon juice
    2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped
    2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
    2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
    5 garlic cloves, minced
    1 bay leaf, crumbled
    1/2 c black pepper, finely ground
    Salt
    4 pounds large raw shrimp in shells (30-35 per pound)

    Recipe



    Melt the butter in a large deep-sided frying pan or iron skillet over low heat. When melted, raise the heat, and add the remaining ingredients except the shrimp. Cook, stirring often, until browned to a rich mahogany color, about 10 minutes.

    Add shrimp, stirring and turning to coat well with the seasoned butter. Cook until the shrimp have turned a rich deep pink, about 10 minutes.

    Lay newspapers on the table. Serve the shrimp in their shells, peeling them at the table.
