RECIPE of the Day - 2/05/2007





My husband and I really love shrimp. Sometimes it's hard to find a good shrimp recipe that isn't breaded and fried in some way. This recipe is quite delicious and gives you much more flavor than shrimp scampi, but with the same buttery richness.




Herbed Shrimp in Garlic Butter

3 dozen shrimp, de-veined
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 cup butter
5 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1/4 lb. sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup butter

Shell and de-vein shrimp, leaving tails on. Place shrimp in small bowl with salt, oregano and thyme. In a separate bowl, cream together butter, garlic and parsley.

In a small skillet, sauté mushrooms in butter. Brush seasoning mixture lightly from shrimp, allowing some to remain. Divide the shrimp among six individual oven proof baking dishes; top with sautéed mushrooms and drizzle with remaining butter from skillet. Spoon garlic butter mixture (as desired) on top of mushrooms.

Bake at 375°F. for 12 minutes or until done.
