After I made these New Orleans BBQ Shrimp, I forwarded the recipe to my friend from New Orleans.

She responded, “MeeMaw Betty makes these in the oven….it’s basically a buttload of butter, a bottle of Italian salad dressing, and a ton of shells-on shrimp.  Awesome!”

Well dang, I thought.  That’s sure a lot easier than my recipe.  I googled it and found this recipe.  Dang, I thought again.  This is WAY easier.  I had to try it.

You should too.  It’s very good.  It’s different from the first recipe, but (easy)rich, (easy)buttery, and a (easy)delicious dinner!

You need:

• 1 pound shrimp, (mine were already peeled – and that was fine)
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup zesty Italian dressing
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic

Preheat oven to 350.  Put your shrimp in a dish.

Add all your ingredients to the  shrimp and combine thoroughly.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Serve with crusty bread (to soak up that sauce)!
