Recipe:
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 or 2 sticks butter
2 Tbs. Dijon or stone ground mustard
1 ½ tsp. chili powder, your choice on heat
¼ tsp. basil
¼ tsp. thyme
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
½ tsp. oregano
2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
2 Tbs. shrimp & crab boil seasoning, I use a Tbs. of Old Bay and a tsp. of Zatarains
½ tsp. hot sauce or to taste
1 ½ lbs. large shrimp, with shells
Preheat oven to 375 deg.
In a skillet fry the bacon until almost crisp; add butter and rest of ingredients except shrimp. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Place the shrimp in a baking dish, and pour sauce over the top. Stir to coat all the shrimp. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes and stir twice during baking. Serve at once.
Serve with some good crusty bread for dipping in the sauce. Serve in bowls with some of the sauce and it’s a good idea to have wet towels too; they are messy to eat but fun and delicious.
Serves 4 average people or 2 Cajuns!
Note: When doing for two people; I just use 1 stick of butter, if serving 4 you may want to use 2 sticks.
