GARLIC & HERB ROASTED SHRIMP
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt the butter over low heat in a medium (10-inch) saute pan. Add the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook over low heat for one minute. Off the heat, zest one of the lemons directly into the butter mixture.
- Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp snugly in one layer in a large (12-inch) round ovenproof sauté pan (or 10 × 13-inch baking dish) with only the tails overlapping. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp. Sprinkle with the sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Slice the ends off the zested lemon, cut five (1/4-inch-thick) slices, and tuck them among the shrimp. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, just until the shrimp are firm, pink, and cooked through. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp. Serve hot with the toasted bread for dipping into the garlic butter.
GRILLED JUMBO SHRIMP WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER
A very simple recipe with just enough seasoning to enhance the flavor of the grilled shrimp without overpowering it. The best way to eat the shrimp is to peel them at the table and dip in extra butter sauce left over from the recipe. I have prepared the recipe with and without the rum - I do not find the rum to add anything special.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. If you can, buy shrimp that is wild-caught and sustainably sourced.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality butter: The butter will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so it's important to use a good quality butter. Look for a butter that is made from fresh cream and has a high butterfat content.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will be the most tender and flavorful when it is hot off the stove.
