Broiled Shrimp with Garlic Butter
6 tablespoons softened sweet butter
1 teaspoon garlic
1 tablespoon shallots
1 tablespoon parsley
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
24 large shrimp, in the shell
1/2 cup water
Preheat the broiler. Place the butter in a small bowl and stir in the lemon
juice, salt and chopped garlic, shallots and parsley.
Cut shrimp in half lengthwise, leaving them attached at the tail. Spread the
shrimp open and arrange them in a shallow, oval casserole dish.
Top the shrimp with generous dabs of the butter mixture and pour the water into
the dish.
Broil the shrimp until they are cooked through, about 4
minutes.
Arrange the shrimp in a line across serving plates, so that the tail of each
shrimp fits inside the shrimp in front of it.
Whisk the liquid in the casserole dish and pour it over the
shrimp.
Serve Immediately. |
