NEW ORLEANS-STYLE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Melt the butter and pour into a large non-reactive baking dish, (I use a big corning ware lasagna dish),.
• Add all remaining ingredients except shrimp to the pan and whisk around to combine. Add the shrimp, toss till coated, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Remove plastic and bake shrimp, 25-30 minutes, stirring and basting every 10 minutes. I put my bread in to bake about 20 minutes into the cooking time.
• Ladle into deep plates or bowls, and serve with warm French bread for dipping into the sauce. I always have a tossed green salad and plates to go with this meal. Enjoy!
