Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 pounds extra large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails on or off (I leave them on for this dish served as an appetizer)
  • 1/2 cup butter, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (NOT olive oil)
  • 8 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 to 3 de Arbol chilies, crumbled (they are dried chilies); I used 3, but if you like less heat, use 1 or 2
  • 1 lime, cut in half (1/2 squeezed over the shrimp; and the over half cut in small wedges)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pepper
  • Garnish --- scallions
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Sauce ... In a small microwave bowl or measuring cup, add the butter, oil, chilies, and garlic - cover with plastic wrap, and cook 1 1/2 minutes on medium heat. Remove and let it set for 10 minutes.

  • Step 2: Shrimp ... Bring the shrimp to room temperature (to take the chill off) and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  • Step 3: Bake ... Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Add the shrimp to a shallow baking dish or pie plate and pour the sauce over the shrimp; lightly toss. Bake 10-15 minutes on the middle shelf until the shrimp begin to curl and turn pink.

  • Step 4: Serve ... Squeeze 1/2 the lime over the shrimp and garnish with diced scallions and remaining lime wedges; but, make sure you have plenty of crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Great served as an appetizer. ENJOY!
