2 pounds shrimp, fresh or frozen
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
freshly ground pepper, to taste
parsley, chopped, for garnish
Thaw shrimp if frozen in the refrigerator or under continuously running water. Peel and de-vein shrimp if necessary. Rinse with cold water and allow to drain. Cook garlic in butter until tender and remove from heat. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Arrange shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish or broiler pan. Pour sauce over shrimp. Broil about 4 inches from heat source for 8 to 10 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and tender. Baste once during broiling with the sauce in the pan to prevent the shrimp from drying out. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Serves 6.
