Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the shrimp, 3 Tbsp of butter, seasonings, and garlic in a saute' pan or oven proof skillet large enough to hold the shrimp in only one layer. Place shrimp in oven for about 2 minutes. Remove and turn the shrimp over and return for another 2-3 minutes.

CHEF COMMENTS

I usually serve really cold beer or iced tea to cut the heat of the dish. It is the pepper that makes the heat so that can be varied depending on your own preferences.
