Beach Shrimp


This was so good! Even though the recipe is pretty basic, the shrimp had a ton of flavor--delish! This is the original recipe, but I cut it way down and used a little less than a pound of shrimp and there was still plenty for just the 2 of us.

3 lbs. peeled, large raw shrimp
1 16 oz. bottle Italian dressing
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 lemons, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces (I'm sure you could get away with way less butter than this--I used about 1 tablespoon and that was plenty!)

Place first 4 ingredients ina 9x13 baking dish, tossing to coat. Squeeze juice from lemons over shrimp mixture and stir. Add lemon halves to pan. Sprinkle evenly with parsley. Dot with butter. Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. Serve in pan.
