Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 loaf French bread

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Saute garlic in the hot oil until brown, about 2 minutes. Add butter, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and Cajun seasoning. Let simmer until butter has melted through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Mix shrimp and butter mixture together in a cast iron skillet. Place in the refrigerator and allow to set for about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove the skillet from the refrigerator.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Place the French bread into the skillet with the shrimp and continue to cook until shrimp are bright pink and bread is slightly brown on top, about 10 minutes more. Serve in the cast iron skillet and use the bread to dip up the sauce.
