To Die For Shrimp

I laugh at my sister because anytime she wants a good recipe she types in “to die for” at the beginning of her internet search. I must say, it usually works out for her.

Now that we are at the coast I am getting braver with cooking different types of seafood and experimenting with plain old things like cooking shrimp. THIS is by far my FAVORITE simple shrimp recipe.

Try it… it’s to die for!!

Ingredients:

- 1 lb (or more) of fresh shrimp, peeled

- stick of butter, melted

- one or two lemons, sliced thinly

- Cajun seasoning

Directions:

- On a baking sheet, pour melted butter.

- Spread lemon slices over the butter.

- Then layer shrimp on top of lemon slices.

- Sprinkle with seasoning.

- Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality:

- I used less butter—adjust as you see necessary for your amount of shrimp.

- The second time I made this I actually put the shrimp down first, seasoned it, and then topped with lemons and butter. It came out with a little more flavor this way.

- The original recipe called for Italian Seasoning but I like some spice—so we went Cajun. I’m sure the other way would be great too!
