What a fabulous old-school yet timeless appetizer. Savour this buttery, garlicky deliciousness mopped up with your fave bread.

Choose shelled and tail- on medium sized shrimp, thawed from frozen or fresh. Enough for about 8 to 10 per person. 

Pre-heat oven to 425F.

Sauce made in a bowl:
2-3 tbsp melted butter
2-3 tbsp olive oil
2-3 tbsp lemon juice 
Good splash of white wine
4 cloves of finely chopped garlic
Lots of finely chopped parsley
1/2 tsp Paprika 
1 tsp dried Italian herbs, put what you like
1 tbsp chili pepper flakes,
Salt and Pepper

In any oven proof dish or pan you like for serving, spoon some sauce into it and then arrange your shrimp in 1 layer. Add sauce to this layer and then add next layer of shrimp. Ideally 2 layers works best. Pour the rest of the sauce on top and lightly cover with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle a bit of olive oil on top of the finished dish.

Bake for 12 min or so. Broil the top if you want a bit more color.

Serve this hot with lots of crusty baguette. 

I promise...it is a serious crowd pleaser!!
