BARBECUED SHRIMP ORLEANS 
3 lb. lg. shrimp, unpeeled
6 sticks butter
3 tbsp. black pepper
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. Accent
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. rosemary
1/8 tsp. thyme
1/8 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. salt, after cooking

Wash and drain shrimp well. Place in 7 x 11 inch glass baking dish. Place all ingredients for sauce in 4 cup measure. Heat in microwave on HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until butter is melted. Pour over shrimp. Cover with wax paper. Cook on HIGH 10-12 minutes.

Stir shrimp once or twice during cooking time until all shrimp are pink. Add salt after cooking. Let stand 3 minutes. Test for doneness. Serve with french bread, perfect for dipping into butter sauce. (To reduce recipe, cooking time for 1 1/2 pound of shrimp is approximately 7-8 minutes.) Serves 4-6.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
