[BamaLuver]

Got me started on seafood again didn't ya Bayou? I love it!


Herbed Shrimp in Garlic Butter

3 dozen shrimp
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup butter
5 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1/4 lb. sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup butter

Shell and de-vein shrimp, leaving tails on. Place shrimp in small bowl with salt, oregano, thyme. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, garlic and parsley.

In a small skillet, sauté mushrooms in butter. Divide the shrimp among six individual oven proof baking dishes; top with sautéed mushrooms and drizzle with remaining butter from skillet.

Spoon garlic butter mixture (as desired) on top of mushrooms. Bake at 375°F. for 12 minutes or until done.

Goes well with wild rice.

I would divide that between 2 plates not 6.

I made a scaled down version of this dish tonight using about 1/2 lb of large white shrimp. I also added a bit of cooked lump crabmeat to each dish before putting in the oven (this dish cooks in about 10 minutes in my oven). It was delicious. Side dishes were scalloped potatoes and steamed asparagus. My wife made a salad of baby greens and herbs with Julianne beets and orange vinaigrette dressing. She has come a long way as a cook. We even ate at the big table tonight.

Desert was a square of plain chocolate cake with caramalized bananas on top.

I tried it tonight, but doubled the recipe. Very good and easy. Then topped it off with a little chocolate pecan pie with bourbon whipped topping. MMMMM... :biggrin2:
