Baked Shrimp in Sauce

Don shared this recipe from his mother Geri Maynard.  Don recommends it be served with a crispy baguette to soak up the delicious sauce.​​
​

• ½ lb butter
• ¼ cup olive oil
• Dash hot pepper sauce
• 2 Tbl Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 Tbl Rosemary
• ½ tsp thyme
• ½ tsp oregano
• ½ tsp basil
• 2 bay leaves
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper
• ½ lemon squeezed
• ¼ cup white wine (dry or sweet, each gives a different taste)
• 3 cloves garlic sliced
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp accent (some people are allergic to this flavor enhancer)
• 2 large onions sliced
• 2 large bell peppers sliced
• 2 ribs celery cut up
• Salt to taste

​

• 2 lbs raw unpeeled shrimp
• Black pepper to taste

 

1. Melt butter, combine all ingredients except shrimp and pepper.
2. Pour in to shallow baking dish (maybe two)
3. Place shrimp over sauce sprinkle with pepper and mix it all together.  I usually mix it all in a large bowl or pan to make sure shrimp are well covered before putting into baking dishes.
4. Refrigerate for several hours , stirring occasionally
5. Preheat oven at 425* and cook shrimp uncovered for about 25 min or until shells are loose.  Stir twice while baking.
6. Serve with fresh French bread.  Enjoy!!!
