Rec: New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp

2 pounds large fresh shrimp in the shell (20-24 count size)
1 cup butter
1/2 cup olive oil
l tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon sweet basil (dried will do, but fresh is best)
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 tablespoons black pepper
toasty French Bread



Melt butter in olive oil. Add all other ingredients except shrimp.
Let sauce stand for at least 15 minutes. An hour or two won't
hurt. When ready to cook, add shrimp to skillet and cook for
10 to 15 minutes or until they are pink all over. Stiring often.
Divide shrimp into individual bowls. Pour sauce over shrimp
and serve with French bread for dipping.



Serves 4 to 6

Fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat. How about adapting this to something resembling a healthy entree?
