BBQ Shrimp

This was my second time making these shrimp, the first being before my blogging days, but I just had to share these with my readers because they are so good and so easy!  They are most like the BBQ shrimp that they serve down in New Orleans, a thin sauce that is slightly spicy and oh so good.  Make sure to make some garlic bread to go along with these, because you will definately want something to dip into the delicious sauce!  Make sure to have lots of napkins ready, because these are peel and eat, so things could get messy!

Also, for easier clean up, I would recommend using a dispoable aluminum pan!

2 lbs unpeeled large raw shrimp (I use the easy-peel kind to make it easier to eat)

1 lemon, cut into wedges
2 bay leaves
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. ketchup
1/4 c. worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. dried thyme

Place shrimp in a 13- x- 9-inch pan; top with lemon wedges and bay leaves. Stir together butter and next 6 ingredients. Pour over shrimp.

Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 35 minutes or until shrimp are pink, stirring every 10 minutes. Discard bay leaves.

Serve with garlic bread and lemon wedges.
