Ingredients:
32 raw peeled large shrimp
1/4 lb unsalted butter
mushrooms (optional)
tomatoes (optional)
onions (optional)
bell peppers, sliced (optional)
1 teaspoon ground basil
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt ( sea salt is best)
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Directions:
Mix spice ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl (make a double or triple batch and store the remainder for later use!) Dredge shrimp through the mixture.
Place a large skillet over a very high heat, and melt the butter.
Place the shrimp in the skillet and turn heat down to medium.
Cook on both sides for approximately 7 minutes (maybe less) each- pay attention to the shrimp as they cook quickly; when the shrimp curl, they are done.
Optional – sprinkle the vegetables with the spice mix and saute in the butter in the same skillet.
Serve with lots of garlic bread and ice-cold beer or chilled white wine.
