Cooking Recipe Acadian Peppered Shrimp
Recipe Ingredients
1 lb
Butter
1/2 c
Lemon juice
2 ts
Fresh basil, chopped
2 ts
Cayenne pepper
2 ts
Fresh oregano, chopped
5
Garlic cloves, minced
1
Bay leaf, crumbled
1/2 c
Black pepper, finely ground
Salt
4 lb
Large raw shrimp in shells
Directions
The shrimp should be of a size to number 30-35 per pound. 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 the shrimp, stirring and
turning to coat well with the seasoned butter. Cook until the shrimp
have turned a rich deep pink, about 10 minutes. Serve the shrimp in
their shells, peeling them at the table. From Nathalie Dupree's "New
