Acadian Peppered Shrimp

Directions

1. Start with 4 pounds of fresh shrimp (26/30). Heat the butter in a large saute/fry pan over low heat. When melted, raise the heat, and add in the remaining ingredients. (except the shrimp) Cook, stirring often, till browned to a rich mahogany color, about 12 min. Add in the shrimp, stirring and turning to coat well with the seasoned butter. Cook till the shrimp have turned pink, about 10 min. Serve the shrimp in their shells, peeling them at the table.
2. recipe for those warm summer days when the stove puts off way to much heat for comfort's sake. This is quick, delicious and goes wonderfully well with a nice pasta salad and a couple of ice cool beers.
