-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Pound Butter
2 Teaspoons Fresh ground black pepper
1/4 Cup Peanut oil

3 Each Cloves garlic -- chopped
1 Tablespoon Paprika
2 Tablespoons Rosemary
2 Teaspoons Lemon juice
1 Teaspoon Chopped basil
2 Pounds Raw shrimp in their shells
1 Teaspoon Chopped thyme

Shrimp should be of a size to number 30-35 per pound. Melt the Butter and
Oil in a flameproof baking dish. Add the Garlic, herbs, Peppers, bay leaves,
Paprika, and Lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer
10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the dish from the heat and let the
flavors marry at least 30 minutes. This hot Butter Sauce can be made a day
in advance and refrigerated. Preheat the oven to 450F.
Reheat the Sauce, add the shrimp, and cook over medium heat until the shrimp
just turn pink, then bake in the oven about 30 minutes more. Taste for
seasoning, adding Salt if necessary.
