GARLIC BROILED SHRIMP 
2 lbs. lg. unshelled shrimp, deveined
1/2 c. melted unsalted butter
1/2 c. olive oil
1 tbsp. minced shallots or green onion
1 tsp. salt
3 lg. peeled cloves of garlic
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 c. minced parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Parsley sprigs

Wash shrimp in cold water and dry well. Pour butter and olive oil into a 3- quart shallow bowl. Add shallots. Chop garlic with salt on cutting board (this helps eliminate the strong garlic after-taste). Add garlic salt mixture to bowl.

Roll shrimp in the mixture until well coated. Sprinkle with lemon juice and parsley. Marinate at least 30 minutes, turning shrimp several times. Broil shrimp 3-inches from hot fire about 5-7 minutes on each side depending on the size of the shrimp.

Salt and pepper to taste. Serve in individual scallop shells and spoon heated marinade over them. Garnish with parsley.
