Buttery Broiled Shrimp can be made in just minutes and will disappear even faster. Coated in herbs and spices, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and butter, these Broiled Shrimp work as a party appetizer or main dish. Serve leftovers over grits for a delicious southern breakfast.
Youโll need lots of fresh bread to mop up the buttery sauce. Itโs every bit as good as the shrimp themselves.
Short Prep Time
It takes less than 5 minutes to prep these Buttery Broiled Shrimp. Maybe a little longer if you factor in peeling the shrimp.
How To Make
(Full instructions in recipe card below.)
Just peel the shrimp, leave the tails on if you desire. Spread them out on a baking sheet and top with a spice mixture of garlic powder, creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle on some lemon juice and Worcestersire sauce, and slivers of butter. Then roast for about 10 to 12 minutes. Watch the shrimp closely and be careful not to overcook. Overcooked shrimp will have a rubbery texture.
Broil for just a minute or two to up the flavor some and these Buttery Broiled Shrimp are ready to serve. Easy Peasy.
Equipment Needed
You will need a rimmed baking sheet to cook the shrimp on. I am really happy with this Cuisinart Baking Sheet. It is made from really heavy metal and it cooks evenly.
Recipe Tip
If you donโt have access to fresh shrimp, you can use frozen shrimp. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. The size of your shrimp will effect the cooking time, so use it as an estimate.
If you want these shrimp to be extra spicy, double the amount of cayenne pepper.
