Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Ready In: 25 Minutes
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
1 pound butter
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon liquid crab boil, such as zatarain's
1 tablespoon cayenne powder
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaf
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 lemon
hot sauce, such as tabasco
6 large shrimp (u12), with heads and shells on
Directions:
1. Take the butter, cut into thirds, and melt in a large saucepan over medium heat until melted. Next, add the green onions, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil, cayenne, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, thyme, garlic, bay leaves and 5 to 6 shakes hot sauce. Cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice in and then drop the lemon halves into the pan. Bring to a boil, but there should be no smoke. Add the shrimp in flat rows on top. Cook until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Pour everything onto a plate and serve.
2. Cook's Note: Top of the shrimp head should NOT have a red spot, the shrimp should be completely grey, and the fresher the better. Good to let everything soak for a bit, but don't overcook because the shrimp will have a rubber-like texture. You want to cook it with the head and shell on.
