This oven-baked barbecue shrimp recipe is one of my husband's favorite dishes. The recipe isn't exactly healthy, but it is fabulous and feeds a lot of people. It is a common dish in Louisiana. You can cut it in half for a family dinner.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds medium shrimp, with shells

  • 2 pounds butter

  • 1 medium sweet onion, minced

  • 8 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 stalks celery, diced

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons dried rosemary

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in as many baking dishes as you need. Set aside.
