I got this recipe many years ago from a local restaurant in New Jersey. The restaurant is still there, so I know this is a good one ! When I tell people how easy it is, they are always surprised. You can serve this over rice as a main course (yellow or white rice), or just serve it in the casserole dish with plenty of delicious Portuguese bread.
Ingredients:
2 lbs shrimp, raw and peeled. no tails
1/2 cup margarine (or butter)
6 garlic cloves, fresh and crushed
1/2 cup dry white wine (can use white cooking wine)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 lemon (need about 1 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. For two pounds of raw, peeled shrimp.
3. Saute: One stick margarine (I use butter).
4. With Six cloves crushed garlic
5. Slowly, on low heat, heat the butter and garlic. Do not burn the garlic !
6. Then
7. Add: 1/2 Cup dry white wine (can use cooking wine).
8. 1/2 Crushed Red Pepper
9. 1 1/2 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice.
10. Place raw, peeled shrimp in a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish and pour the sauce over the shrimp. Cover and bake 20 minutes.
11. You're done ! Serve over yellow or white rice or alone with plenty of bread .
