Garlic Butter Shrimp

This dish is easy. Come to think of it, everything I share here is relatively easy to make. But easy can be very delicious too, like these garlicky buttery shrimp! These came piping hot out of the oven.
Garlic Butter Shrimp

  1. For peel-and-eat shrimp, I like to get the biggest shrimp I can find.  Any smaller and I tend to just eat their shells because I’m part goat.
  2. Clean and de-vein the shrimp.
  3. Toss minced garlic into the shrimp.  4-5 tablespoons of it.  More if you like.
  4. Add black pepper.  You don’t have to use the fancy fresh out of the peppermill type.  I just dumped in about a half a tablespoon to a tablespoon of that regular ground pepper.  This isn’t fancy.   I mean, it can be, but it doesn’t need to be.
  5. Garlic Butter Shrimp Cut a few pats of butter and lay them atop the pile of shrimp.
  6. Cover and bake at 350 F for 20-30 minutes.  (Depends on how many shrimp you have.)
  7. Peel, dip into the garlicky sauce, and eat.
