Lemon Bay Pan Roasted Shrimp

145

Shrimp swim in lemon, bay and garlic butter for a tasty appetizer.

8
1 pound shrimp
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 to 5 whole bay leaves, crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400. Heat a large skillet on medium-low. Add butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the lemon zest, garlic, and crushed bay leaves. Continue to cook on medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the garlic starts to turn a light brown. Place the shrimp in the pan and cook for 1 minute. Turn the shrimp over and drizzle the lemon juice over them. Roast in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes more or until the shrimp are cooked through. Serve with some crostini or nice, crusty bread to sop up all that flavorful buttery, garlicky-, lemon juicy, broth.
