Ingredients
  

  • 8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic (4-6 cloves)
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary leaves minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 lbs large shrimp peeled and deveined with tails on
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 4 slices thick crusty bread, toasted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium sized sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper and cook over low heat just for 1 minute, until garlic is fragrant. Off heat, zest half of the lemon and add zest into the butter mixture and stir to combine.
  • Meanwhile, in a large 12-inch skillet (or 10x13 shallow baking dish) arrange shrimp snugly in one layer, side by side with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with sea salt and a pinch of pepper. Cut one half of the lemon into 5 thin slices and tuck them among the shrimp. Place skillet in oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink and cooked through. Remove from oven.
  • Squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the shrimp. Serve with hot toasted bread to dip into the garlic butter.
  • Enjoy!
