Awesome recipe! Thank you for posting this. I looked over at least 50 recipes before choosing this one and I am so glad. THIS is what shrimp were born for! Your lemon and garlic butter was so good, I didn't want to miss a drop!

I used kosher salt on the shrimp and served with an arugula salad and baked yams.

The whole family loved it! YUMMY!
